London 2012 Olympic velodrome completed
The legacy velodrome will become part of the Lee Valley VeloPark incorporating a road cycle circuit, mountain bike course, cafe, bike hire and cycle workshop facility
Article Summary
One of the four permanent venues in the London Olympic Park, the velodrome was one of the last to be commissioned, and the first to be completed on time and on budget. Unveiled in February, the sinuous velodrome was chosen to represent London's claim for the "greenest games ever," because of its sustainability and efficiency initiatives. Inspired by lightweight and streamlined racing bikes, the Hopkins Architects-designed velodrome will provide a venue for the indoor track cycling events at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
