65^th Festival of Sport (FOS) – Track Cycling Race cum Esport Funday (Tour of Hong Kong Velodrome) will be held on 16 July (Saturday) at Hong Kong Velodrome. Do you know the technical terms of cycling?

One of the most common terms is “zonked”, that means extremely tired. Other than “zonked”, cycling athletes always mention “watt”, which is the same as the “watt” for electricity. A horsepower is equivalent to 745.7 watts. The power generated by world class athletes at highest speed is close to three to four horsepower. It can even turn on an air-conditioner at home.

Race tactics, specifications of a track bike equipment, and cycling knowledge will be introduced by authorized and experienced coach in the guided tour. Attendees can fully learn about track cycling races from a professional perspective and the effort made by Hong Kong athletes and its team.
