What is pit riding?

Pit riding refers to the practice of riding a motorcycle or dirt bike in the pit area of a racetrack, typically where mechanics and teams work on their vehicles. It is often considered unsafe and is usually prohibited due to the presence of tools, equipment, and personnel. This activity can lead to accidents and injuries, as the pit area is not designed for riding. In competitive racing, strict rules are in place to limit or ban pit riding to ensure safety for everyone involved.
