Welcome to the all new experience of IceTrack cycling. IceTrack is the sport, Ice-Bat the machine.

Q. What is the point of IceTrack cycling?

A. Every 4 years the Winter Olympics hosts speed skating on a purpose built 400m ice oval:
- the medals are shared out between a few select countries (with a tradition in speed skating)
- there are no disabled catagories and
- generally outside the Olympics few spectators come to watch.

Ice Bat Racing wants to change all this. The challenge is to open up these wonderful ice ovals to a new and diverse generation of sportsmen and women. IceTrack Cycling aims to be part of the Winter Olympics' program in 2022.

Q. What is so special about the Ice-Bat?

A. There are 2 things you need to (and already!) know about ice:
1. it is very slippery and
2. it is very hard (ie hurts when you fall over).

The Ice-Bats are specially designed to safely cope with this. Although optimised for the 400m ice ovals, they are equally at home on frozen lakes and canals. To prove the point there is even a team on standby for the 200km Elfstedentocht if the canals in Holland freeze...

And the Ice-Bats are not just about racing: touring round frozen lakes is a magnificent experience and now in reach for those who cannot or choose not to skate.
