The very exciting "sport" of roller racing is coming to Denver March 20th at the Handlebar & Grill. What is roller racing, honestly, I've only witness this type of event on youtube videos so my exposure is limited. There are many different ways to run a roller race but in general you have 2 or more bikes set up on trainers and with the resistance set not very high this forces the riders to compete with extremely high cadence, image riding down Mount Evens on a fixie which has a 42x18 on it! OUCH!
These events are very common in Portland Oregon area where the cycling culture is radically different than the Denver area.

Roller Races
You've got to be kidding me. Get a front wheel on those things and race like the big kids. Half the fun of a roller race in a bar is the potential for someone hitting the deck!
