It seems that more than fitness or track craft or anything else the biggest "skill" you need to ride well on the track is to take a look before you move anywhere. Would that be accurate?
So I am just wondering how some folks get around when riding on the road without *ever *looking behind when filtering/changing lanes/turning right etc.
It really is a basic principle of *all *types of cycling - if you want to change lines take a look first....on the road, on the track, on a canal tow path...So I am pretty shocked that there are people so foreign with the concept.
