The conceptual 'Prototype 0' velodrome track racing bicycle has been designed by Gaetano De Cicco as an aerodynamic ride imagined for use both on the track as well as city streets. The bike maintains a unibody design that is slim and stylish, which further helps it to achieve high speeds and make it well-suited as a commuter option. The fixed-gear design of the bike makes it perfect for straightaways, but would subsequently be difficult to ride up steep inclines or over rugged terrain.
The conceptual 'Prototype 0' velodrome track racing bicycle would provide avid riders with a way to truly achieve cycling excellence both on and off the track, while still keeping a focus on their style preferences.
