Cycling game with magnets?

[stoysville]

I remember my friend had a game where your raced cyles (like racing bikes) around an oval track. The track was yellow/orange plastic and I think there were four bikes all controlled by different players who wound a handle to make them move. I'm pretty sure the handles moved magnets under the bikes (a bit like Steer-n-go), and I think the biker's legs moved realistically because they were attached to the pedals. I'd love to know what this was called and see a picture, I think it was late 70s or very early 80s.

Cheers!

Hmmm OP says controlled by different handles(wound) and players, but it was my first thought too ?
