Fixie riders will get to take to the track at the upcoming Interbike, as Portland Design Works will be rolling in the Circulus, a 132-foot circumference, 45-degree wooden mini-velodrome. This track will be installed in the Sands Expo and Convention Center, and is being sponsored by Paved magazine, Yakima, All-City Cycles and Portland Design Works. It will be the site for multiple events during the Interbike Expo in Las Vegas, from September 14-16.
Show attendees will get to take to the track to ride All-City Cycles and even compete in events for the first and second days of Interbike.
“Circulus will add something completely new and unique to this year’s show,” said Interbike Brand and Communications Director Rich Kelly. “We’re placing a big emphasis on urban cycling and the brands that support it and having Circulus there will be a big draw for that segment of the market. And, of course, I can’t wait to take a spin on it myself.”

The Circulus was originally conceived and built by Claremont, Calif. Pomona College art student Samuel Starr as part of his 2010 senior thesis, and was then purchased by PDW with all 39 sections of the track were shipped to the company’s Oregon warehouse where it was reassembled.
This year the Circulus will be dismantled, transported to Las Vegas and reassembled for the 30th edition of the bicycle industry’s annual trade show to let riders get in on the spin of things!
