I’m for expanding bicycle-related resources ANYWHERE in and around the city, especially areas in and near downtown. Just last Sunday AM I was doing bicycle laps at Audubon Metro Park. It’s a very nice, and so far, quiet and empty place to ride to and around. A velodrome here might work here. There is a lot of space available.

How about a velodrome at Cooper Stadium instead? Do a bike-related development there instead of cars or motorcycles. That would sure take care of the noise concerns many have. Expand bicycle access to Franklinton and over to Audubon Metro. My hunch is there’s a lot more folk interested in bicycling in and around downtown than there are in NASCAR. And bicycling interest continues to grow!

How about a velodrome on the south end of Jeffery Place? Or over in the western part of the Arena District, around where the casino was to go? A bicycle bridge across the Olentangy from the Olentagy Path to the Arena district would be useful. Same would apply to a bridge across the Scioto from around Audubon to south Franklinton.

For the velodrome, there are several locations that might work as well as Audubon, near downtown, but they may not be on park land.
