Bedlington featured its own purpose built bicycle track from 1880. It was opened by the Bedlington Amateur Bicycle Club in partnership with the owners of Bedlington Colliery, who in their "usual liberality" provided a track eight laps to the mile for the use of workmen. An opening ceremony took place in September of that year for members of the club, featuring a two mile handicap.

The grounds were "admirably adapted" for obtaining a good view of the contests, and the first featured a large attendance. The grounds went on to feature regular competitions against other clubs in the region, such as the Coquetdale Cycling Club as well as intra-races against each other.

The track went on to form part of the Bedlington Station Recreation grounds, but remained in management of the Bedlington Amateur Bicycle Club as noted in 1893. Their headquarters was at the Cross Tavern from this same year and the "flourishing condition of the club" was cited. They went on to compete in the junior championships of the National Cyclists Union.

In 1893, the club were in competition with another track, promoted by members of the Bedlington Aerial Bicycle Club at Doctor Terrace. This was a fairly uncommon appearance of two tracks in the same area, obviously borne out of a swell in interest of cycling here.

By the 1910s the bicycle track had closed and references to the club totally vanish. The track was converted into allotment gardens adjacent to the recreation ground. The other club grounds had also closed, leaving no purpose built cycling tracks left in Bedlington. Housing was later built here.
