Katie's Genesis Track Bike

Just a quickie, wanted to share some info on the track bike. 

We had the track bike in recently and a customer asked about the weight. 

And here's the answer:

8.1kgs with pedals. 

Personally I think that's pretty impressive for a £500 bike. 

This bike is proving popular with beginners and more experienced riders alike because it's a great UCI legal bike. 

And as we have seen, it seems to be doing fairly well with Katie powering it. 

More News from Katie from the Track

Icebreaker Series, Race One, 25 January 2014 At Newport Velodrome.

I went to the Icebreaker in Newport. It was my first race on the new bike from John Atkins Cycles, the bike was absolutely fab! The icebreaker is three endurance races on the track, the scratch race, the elimination and the points race.

The Elimination race is my favorite race out of the three disciplines and it is the race I did my best in on Saturday, I was up against some stiff competition with some of the best under 16’s in the country racing and I was delighted stay in for about 14 laps before my number was called in the elimination race.

Throughout the whole day I learnt lots about being an athlete and really enjoyed myself during the whole experience. I can’t wait till 15 February when I get to do it all over again!
