Cyclist Track Days are your chance to ride the world’s best road bikes. You can expect some of the biggest names in cycling to be there – last year’s events included top-end bikes from the likes of Cannondale, Condor, Pearson, Ridley, Scott, Specialized, Trek, Van Rysel, and more to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Simply pick a bike you want to try and take it for a spin on the special closed-road circuit. You’ve got the whole day, so you can spend as much time riding as many different bikes as you like.
What’s more, in 2026 we’re adding our very first Gravel Track Day at London’s Herne Hill Velodrome. It’s like a Track Day… but gravel. You’ll be able to test out a host of top gravel bikes on an off-road circuit designed to suit all abilities.
Ticket prices start from just £18 for a full day of riding, or £12 if you’re a Cyclist subscriber – but places are limited so don’t delay.
Get your tickets here or at the bottom of this page, where you can also find tickets to Cycling Electric’s e-bike Demo Days.

How it works
- Venues are open from 11am (10am for subscribers) to 4pm and you can come and go as you please.
- Don’t forget to bring cycling kit, including pedals and helmet (compulsory). Changing facilities are available on-site.
- On arrival you will register and receive a special pass. Each bike brand at the venue will have a selection of their top bikes in different sizes. Simply pick a bike, hand over your pass and take the bike for a spin on the car-free circuit for as long as you like.
- When you’re finished, return the bike, collect your pass and repeat with a different bike. Brand representatives are on hand to discuss the bikes and help with fitting pedals and setting saddle height.
- Ride as many bikes as you like for the whole day, and there will be options for lunch and coffee. Partners and spectators are welcome, with plenty of opportunities for photography.
