Rollapaluza racing is a thrilling and inclusive way to get people hooked on cycling
As a gateway into cycling, Rollapaluza offers to anyone with little or no riding experience the chance to participate in a fun and engaging, yet safe activity on quality equipment.
A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
Participants ride head-to-head on stationary bicycles in short, timed races, to a sound track of high-tempo rock and pop music. The noise and excitement levels soar as our expert MCs urge on the racers - and encourage the crowd to do the same - resulting in a uniquely memorable experience for all involved.
PROMOTING CYCLING
Our over-riding aim is to promote cycling as a fun activity by creating safe, well organised events that participants and spectators alike will enjoy.
PROFFESIONAL SUPPORT
Rollapaluza provides two crew to coach riders, operate rigs, take photos and log results. Our staff brief the participants about the equipment and the activity before they start racing.
THIRTY SIX RIDERS AN HOUR
Due to the fast pace of our activity, we can run at a rate of about 36 participants an hour. We take each rider’s name and record their time on our PC - and on a time card that we hand to each participant to keep as a memento of their roller racing experience.
RACE-READY
Our rigs, manufactured to our own exacting design, feature top-of-the-range Condor track bikes - as ridden by some of the UK’s top professional riders. We have replaced the front wheel with a support that connects the bike directly to the roller rig; this removes the need to balance, allowing the participant to pedal safely at high cadence. The riders’ progress is tracked on a giant dial, viewable from up to 50 metres away indoors or out. Our dual digital timers display the length of time it has taken for the riders to cover race distance. The first rider to complete the distance sets off flashing beacons, so spectators can see who has won the moment the race has finished. Our large stable of bikes includes children’s size bikes that allow us to offer the Rollapaluza experience to riders as young as seven.
OUR RIGS
The ‘Two Up’ rig is the most popular option and allows head-to-head racing for two riders at a time. Using our ’Have a Go’ format we can run up to 18 races an hour.
The ‘Four Up’ rig allows head-to-head racing for up to four riders at a time. Using our ‘Have a Go’ format we can run up to 15 races an hour (60 riders). This larger rig offers additional format options including team racing, two against two and four-person team time trials.
We always aim to cater for all of our clients requiments. If a client would like a different type of bike (or their own bike) we will do our best to facilitate this.
