Le cyclisme sur piste est composé de plusieurs épreuves et se déroule sur un vélodrome, piste ovale, généralement de 200 m, 250 m ou 333,33 m, ayant deux virages relevés à environ 40°. [...] Le cyclisme sur piste se pratique toujours sur des vélos à pignons fixes, ce qui oblige à mouliner et à tourner les roues jusqu'à l'arrêt. Les pieds sont serrés dans des cales-pieds ce qui oblige aussi les entraîneurs à maintenir leurs coureurs debout sur la ligne de départ. 2, record 1, French, - cyclisme%20sur%20piste

Design of paths may provide [the opportunity to the pedestrian to discover attractive elements of a city] in the following ways: 1) By avoiding long, continuous straight lines and use zig-zag lines instead. 2) By creating variation in the landscape along paths. 3) By making rest areas available along paths with play space for children. 4) By creating points of unobstructed view to the open landscape. 5) By creating "shade stations" along pedestrian paths wherever appropriate for protection. 4, record 2, English, - pedestrian%20trail
