Video Tour of Midwest Velodromes

Chicago's Velocampus just put out this video of their new site on Chicago's south side where the old steel mill once stood. They are working on raising funds to put a roof over it so that it may be raced all winter long. I thought that this would be a good time to give a quick video tour of all the tracks around the area, many of which are open to the public and may be ridden at any time. Often they can be easily ridden mid-winter, providing shelter from the wind and traffic.


This is a preview of a soon to be released documentary exploring the construction, community, and usage of the Chicago Velo Campus. If you are interested in more information regarding the Chicago Velo Campus itself, please visit: www.chicagovelocampus.com
