Merry Christmas Everyone! ✌️
Bike-track is a Company that specialises in building cycling facilities in the UK and Canada
https://biketrack1.myshopify.com/
Bike Track offers a range of services relating to the installation and up keep of all types of extreme cycle tracks including:
Consultations - Often carried out with Local User Groups or Clubs to detail a wish list of what elements they would like to see included in their track/trail. Design - Full AutoCad design services with detailed plans and sections. These can be included in planning applica
tions and used in public consultations if required. Construction - From drainage to finish surfacing our employee’s complete the total build using experienced methods and quality products. Maintenance - Continuous maintenance required to keep the track running at it’s best for all users. Alterations - Often carried out on tracks to give the local riders renewed interest. Refurbishment - often required on outdated or un-maintained tracks again renewing local interest in the area. Different Types of Tracks:
Pump Track
Is a small starter track which is aimed at beginners wanting to learn skills to control a bike while still being able to travel at reasonably safe speeds. Pump Tracks also attract experienced riders wanting to hone their skills as the faster a pump track in rode the more difficult it becomes. A Pump Track works best on a level area where space is tight. Straights can be linked to allow for continuous loops. Skills Area
Skills Area’s are largely based around the coaching requirements and rider experience of the users. They are generally used as a place to learn new skills before putting those skills into practice. This often means they are constructed alongside or in-conjunction with existing trails/tracks. Play Tracks
A Play Track is generally aimed towards junior riders and upwards, with a range of skill levels and styles of bikes. Play Tracks are usually designed to be rode in single file therefore they can include many obstacles and corners within a tight space and budget.
4 Man Track
This size track can fill the considerable budget gap and space restrictions between a play track and an 8 Man Race Track. They can be slotted into a lot smaller area than an 8 Man Race Track and still have similar features. Although they will not be able to hold British Cycling affiliated events they can still hold local races and provide a great coaching facility for the community. In the right location and with the right slope it would be possible to create a mountain bike 4 cross facility which is a recognised UCI event for 4 man racing.
8 Man Race Track
These are the largest style race tracks aimed at 8 Man BMX Racing. An 8 Man BMX Race Track can be aimed at different levels of racing from Regional to National to International standard. Each standard is defined by the track’s width, length, jump size, start hill height, berm height, spectator area, adjacent facilities etc. Not only can and 8 Man Race Track be a great base for the local BMX Club but can also be used as a coaching venue for local schools and organisations as well as a meeting point for the local cycling community. Mountain Bike Trail
A Mountain Bike Trail Facility can make good use of inactive woodland, grassland or scrub areas which maybe uneven or with difficult access. These areas can be put to good use when incorporated into a well designed Mountain Bike facility. Quiet undulating landscapes offer an interesting canvas for Mountain Bike facilities with minimal impact on the local environment whether located inner city or the countryside.
Merry Christmas Everyone! ✌️

We celebrated #worldbicycleday by wrapping up the topsoil on #calgary #yyc and southern #alberta first asphalt pump track, then squeezing in a few laps with our crew. Signage to install, mulch and sod, lines to paint, and on to the next one!

Parkwood SPRINGS the clues in the name, so when we originally built this we had to rock armour sections of the track as using a pipe wouldn’t of worked in these locations. When the springs appear due to a high water table the water can flow across the tracks in the places we have armoured without causing any damage to the trail and the surface. #builtolast #thinklikewater #designedforfun #trailbuilder #rockarmour #water #flow #mtb #sheffield #maintance #biketrack #parkwoodmtb

We met up yesterday with @stevepeat & @loosedoglewis to talk about changes to @steelcityseries for the race on the 5th of May, few alterations here and there but the main change is the gaps going bigger! #biketrack #steelcity #steelcitytrack #mtb #sheffield
What it takes......... During the winter months we have been busy digging, building and shaping the 2nd phase of the stupendous Lady Cannings MTB Trail #Cookingongas Following a lengthy planning period and felling works across the plantation we were able to squeeze onto site and make a start in January. Storm Doris (and others) gave us some jip flattening trees around us but we overcame to bring you more radness to the area. A whole load more of Blue flowty goodness is now open for action! #cookingongas Big thanks to Ride Sheffield, Go Outdoors, Sheffield City Council and the good people of Sheffield for making this possible. Design for fun, Built to last , ride it. Sheffield, you are Awesome! Get on ya bike! Massive thanks to @tomgrice for filming and editing this....
Today marks the latest addition to the burgeoning Sheffield mountain bike scene, with the official opening of a brand new trail! The trail, built by Bike Track, was completed in early March, and has been kept under wraps to allow the trail time to bed in after a stormy winter and forestry workings. Called 'Cooking on Gas', the trail joins the existing 'Blue Steel' trail crowd funded and built in the summer of 2015. Funding from riders and businesses such as GoOutdoors, along with many tireless volunteer hours and a supportive land manager in Sheffield City Council, has created a sustainable mountain bike trail which will see tens of thousands of riders gracing its berms and rollers in the coming months. The Blue grade flow trail is built in Bike Tracks signature 'the faster you go the tougher it is' style, which makes for a fun, challenging and accessible trail for all abilities, from novice through to World Champions! If you like the trail, head over to Ride Sheffield and consider donating to support their next crowd funded trail development..
Cooking on gas is the new blue trail we have created at lady cannings for @ridesheffield and funded by @gooutdoors, This will compliment the exsisting bluesteel trail. We started working on the trail in January after the forestrys felling works had finished and was completed in early may, since then we have had it Hidden from everyone till it had fully bedded in. Massive thanks to @tom grice and @stevepeat for filming this preview for you guys! Enjoy
