What is a pump track?

A pump track is a small, looping track designed for bicycles, skateboards, scooters, and even rollerblades, featuring a series of rollers, berms (banked turns), and jumps.

The key idea is that riders can maintain speed without pedaling by using a pumping motion shifting their body weight up and down to generate momentum.

They provide a fun and skill-building experience for all ages and skill levels. The image below shows the pump track in Windermere.
