Round and round we go 💪 📷: PBH Keirin | Cycling Pulse

Billions of Yen are bet on bicycle races every year in Japan. Think about horse racing but riders on bikes instead. From Wikipedia- "Keirin (競輪 / ケイリン, [keːɾiɴ])[1] – literally "racing bicycle" – is a form of motor-paced cycle racing in which track cyclists sprint for victory following a speed-controlled start behind a motorized or non-motorized pacer. It was developed in Japan around 1948 for gambling purposes and became an official event at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia." #KEIRIN #tra
