Equipment can be bought from a variety of places. These include
newspapers, trademe.co.nz and at the track from other members who sell
their gear as they get older or faster (or both). We also offer a For
Sale page that may have what you need.
See our links section for a list of local bike shops.

 On race nights we have a "trainers" class for preschoolers still using training wheels. From there younger riders progress to Half Track, Sprockets and finally full track racing.
If you're a bit older you will start with more competitive racing, and it's never too late!
