Re: Found pics
Yes it certainly was, up to the mid 20s I think.....They started off as Velodromes and then became bigger, banked circuits for motor racing events. Chiefly in America, I have only heard of there being bicycle tracks in Europe.

Re: Found pics
One of the many amazing board tracks was the one that ran for over 25 miles through Pasadena in California. Essentially a pier on land it enabled break-neck and pleasure cyclists alike to ride freely over streets, pavements and junctions. Los Angeles Motordrome was also a board circuit originally - I guess these constructions worked best in dry climates.....
