As part of Toronto's bid for the 2015 Pan Am games the comittee is considering erecting a permanent velodrome in the Hamilton area to host Track Cycling events during the games. There has been debate as to whether or not building a velodrome is worth the investment. Please sign the petition to show your support for building this velodrome as it will provide a great facility for cyclists both amateur and professional and will be of great benefit to the surrounding community and the GTA.

I was looking at the total earlier and we are just hovering right under five hundred so if everyone could just grab a few people to sign on right now that would really push us over the edge. It feels like the wheels are finally turning on this project even if the city council is still acting a bit weird about the whole thing.

I have been hearing from so many cyclists who are just dying for a decent track space locally because honestly driving everywhere just to train is getting old and expensive. I am trying to figure out who at the committee level is actually making these final layout calls but emails are just disappearing into the void for now.

we are almost at the one hundred mark which is just wild to think about honestly. if everyone reading this right now could just grab one person they know to add their name to the list we would hit that milestone in a heartbeat and really show them that we are serious about this track.

My son is a competitive cyclist and he has to drive so far just to find a decent track. This would be a massive help for the whole region.

Great idea. Hamilton needs more world class sports facilities to help our local kids get into cycling.

Finally something for the athletes in Hamilton! We always get overlooked compared to Toronto.
