Velodromes go left, counter clockwise. So maybe left side drive would be better. Closer to the inside and pull you around the track better. Instead of right side drive where it pulls you outward and you have to ride further and fight the outward pull.

Question: Has anyone ever created a dual side drive bike? Chainrings and cogs and derailleurs on both sides. Have to somehow make the shifter shift derailleurs on both sides in sync.



Not exactly, but you can build a BMX or fixie bike with drives on both
sides.

Can you get left-side deraillers? I don't recall any....

Guess a single speed bike would be OK. Except its dual speed! Might have to mount the derailleurs backwards. Rear shifting would not be great but I think it would still shift. Make it a 5 speed friction shifter and freewheel.
