| Content | My proposal is that we build a velodrome in Oklahoma which could support amateur, elite and Olympic hopefuls as they persue the perfection of form and function in track cycling. Nationally there are only 23 velodromes. With the success of such events as the Free Wheel, Tulsa Tough, MS150, etc... the cycling community of Oklahoma has shown itself to be a strong and vibrant, yet under servered, presence in the state. A velodrome would provide income for the state, city, supporting businesses and services, and a potential place for Olympic athletes to train as they work on their dream of representing our country on the world sports stage. I know that I would pay money to watch cyclists power themselves at 60 km/h, riding inches away from thier opponets on a bike with no breaks.
