Tickets for the Senior National Track Championships and the UCI Para-Cycling Track World Championships, both to be held at the Manchester Velodrome this autumn, are now on sale through Ticketmaster.
The Senior National Track Championships will see Olympic and World Champions battle for supremacy against the up and coming generation of track riders looking to establish themselves as the stars of tomorrow for the National Champion titles between 22 and 24 October.
Then, between 6 and 8 November, the Great Britain Para-Cycling Team, which scooped 20 medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, will take on competitors from around the world on home turf in the UCI Para-Cycling Track World Championships.
This is the first time British Cycling has hosted this prestigious UCI event, offering fans at home an opportunity to watch in action one of the most successful cycling teams of all time ahead of the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games.
One day tickets cost £5 and three day tickets are priced at £12.50 for both events. Family and concession tickets are also available.
Spectators are encouraged to book early as tickets are sold on a first come first served basis and the same price applies irrespective of seat location within the Velodrome.
All tickets can be purchased via www.ticketmaster.co.uk, in person at a Ticketmaster ticket centre or by calling the 24 hour hotline on 0844 847 2425.
Up to date information about the Senior National Track Championships is available on www.nationaltrackchamps.co.uk. For details of the UCI Para-Cycling Track World Championships visit www.para-cyclingworldchamps.co.uk
This year the Manchester Velodrome will also hold the first round of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics between 30 October and 1 November, bringing three fantastic track events and the world’s best cyclists to the city in a space of just six weeks. There are a limited number of tickets still available for this event via Ticketmaster.

I wasn't saying that nor talking about people who say that. I said it was silly to claim that wearing a helmet indicates acceptance of dangerous driving and poor infrastructure. I choose to wear a helmet; I also regularly report dangerous driving to the police and correspond with councils and road authorities about ways infrastructure could be improved for cyclists. I rather doubt I'm the only helmet wearer who does so.
@JamieT (a pedant writes) she's a London Assembly member, not an MP.
@Rendel Harris ".....but the claim that wearing one is somehow to be accepting dangerous driving and poor infrastructure is silly." Not that silly. Demanding that cyclists wear a helmet is seen by many people as 'the answer' to cycling safety, so there's no need to put in infrastructure. The difference between infrastructure and helmets is that infrastructure works. Helmets are a distraction from what really works, and the more time we spend talking about them, the less time we spend on things that do work. Helmets should be consigned to the dustbin of history as a failed experiment, and we should cease even mentioning them.
@Mr Blackbird Hats off to George Hall My hat's not coming off- despite this touch of cycleway-washing, Hall still bears the Mark of Cain, until he repudiates his party altogether
Perhaps an article showing a) what is available in the uk as cargo bikes and) comments from real life scenarios from those already using bikes or cargo bikes as one gentleman has done in the comments. Perhaps road.cc could follow up with this. Even the MP said not every business should use cargo bikes but suggested a more nuanced approach suitable for certain trades or companies....
@mdavidford Clearly the end of the sentence got deleted by mistake and it's meant to finish "...devices in their pockets."
@Terry Hutt I don't support mandatory helmets either, but I always think that's a daft analogy (I realise you're not quoting it approvingly): if people shooting in the streets was a regular problem, I'd campaign against it vociferously and expect the authorities to do something about it, but I'd still wear body armour unless and until the problem was sorted out. It's perfectly reasonable for people to question the efficacy of cycle helmets, but the claim that wearing one is somehow to be accepting dangerous driving and poor infrastructure is silly.
“People who are wearing body armour get used to being shot at, when it’s the getting shot at that’s the problem.” People who are wearing body armour get used to being shot at because they survive. People not wearing it die the first time they are shot. So they don't really have much chance to get used to being shot at, do they? But seriously if you don't want to wear a helmet and you're an adult, no-one should have the right to make you wear one.
@lawrence18uk Occasionally I see tradies travelling with some tools on the train, compact tool bags, rucksacks and wheelie luggage, often carrying long spirit levels separately, but on a couple of occasions collapsible ladders.
