Photos from the Velodromo de Horta, Barcelona

I was passing by the olympic velodrome in Barcelona and saw some of the Catalunyan team practicing. There was also one dude there with one leg giving it some round the track as well!)

I got talking to one of the guys who works there and I was lucky enough to get a bit of a tour around the inside of the 'drome, all the changing rooms, workshops, storage rooms ful of track bikes and parts. I think he wanted to sell me this classic track frame made in Mallorca, very nice looking too, don't remember he name unfortunately.

Here's some snaps:

and one of the bike for good measure! ;)

Me encanta la primera foto. Pasé un año en BCN, pero nunca supe que había velódromo por alla. Bien hecho, hombre!

Pues, es mas popular ahora que hace 2 años, por ejemplo, ahora se puede encontrar el Specialized Langster en unas tiendas, pero hace tiempo, no existe. Pero la verdad, es mas extranjeros. Los Españoles (en general) no entienden pq se querría una bici de la pista en la carretera.

En Madrid el año pasado he visto a dos o tres chavales en ellas, y todos sin frenos...

OI ! speek english

Mira el perfil de dicki, no ha hecho ningun amigo! (yo tampoco!) hahaha!

mejor 'jajajaja!'

Fat and racist... So last season...

'they're'?

Nah, he was pointing out where there are

BURN THEM ANYWAY!
