About me:: Chicago Velo Campus, a 166 meter wooden velodrome, aims to promote the sport of cycling through youth educational programs, non-competitive riding, advanced training classes, and competitive events at the amateur, collegiate, and professional levels. Its vision is to make Chicago a mecca for world-class cycling by replacing its current 166 meter outdoor velodrome with a 250 meter Olympic-level indoor velodrome, training facility, and health club. The strategic location of the velodrome on Chicago’s South Side makes the track a centerpiece for future job creation and economic development in this often overlooked community.
