Rules
When doing the race, there are of course a few rules.
- 1. All riders must use the official Little 500 bike that is provided to them for that year. There can be no toe clips or grips, kick stands, water bottles, air pumps, untaped or unplugged handlebars, or any other add-on accessories.
- 2. For the safety of all riders, hard helmets must be worn and buckled at all times, as well as cycling gloves.
- 3. Each team is required to complete 5 exchanges during the course of the race.
- 4. At the 98th lap, all riders not on the lead lap will be asked to move to the back or exit the pack. This is done so that teams on their last 2 laps can make their attempt to win the race. Teams which do not comply with this rule are believed to be impeding the progress of another rider and will be given a 5-20 second penalty or even disqualification depending on the severity of the violation.
