Explain Olympic bicycling please [View all]

I must have missed the explanation for this Olympic sport; maybe I've never seen it before; but I would like to know why they start out so slowly on the track; also I can't tell the marker when the race actually begins; why do they start out with one in front, instead of side by side??????

Thanks for info for a "no-nuttin' " about bicycling.
