we had a local track closed because some idiot was riding bikes and go karts on it.

Mountain bike tires would leave skid marks all over the track.
How do you think Flotrack film their track workouts?

There's a picture in Daniel's Running Formula of some dude running on a track using breathing contraption mounted on a Gremlin, or Volkwwagen Scirroco or some other similar mid 70s POS track coach style car.
So, I would say a bike would be harmless in comparison.
Most of the tracks in my area are asphalt tops...do your worst with a bicycle...track will not care!
I see lots of videos of people (mostly pros) being filmed from someone on a bike.
If you go to a highschool sporting event, like football or soccer, trainers typically drive gators across and on the track.
I don't believe having your buddy on a bike pace you on the track is harmful. But not everyone sees this. I recently was doing this and the HS football team was practicing. Some meathead coach started screaming at my friend that was riding the bike every lap until eventually my friend stopped. Best part was, the trainers were at their practice sitting in a gator in lanes 1 & 2. Sometimes I forget what a power trip high school teachers and coaches have.
