FAQ

Do I Need Racing Experience to be Eligible?
No racing experience is necessary.  You only need the ability to ride a bike and desire to learn and experience the sport of track cycling.

How Much Does the Program Cost?
Perhaps the best part about the Air Products Program is its cost: FREE OF CHARGE!!!  In addition to instruction from experienced coaches, first-class track bicycles, a t-shirt and use of a helmet (quantities and sizes are limited) are all provided, although we encourage everyone to bring their own helmet.
