It’s the essence of racing: Line up next to your competition; point your bike down an open track; pedal as fast as you can; winner moves on to the next heat. No variables. No crowds. No excuses. It’s simple, but it’s far from boring. And it’s a tough workout.
The quarter-mile has always been a staple of auto racing. Now Portland has a drag race series for cycling.
