Thanks for the support in your advocacy work. There is a lot to do all over the USA to get cycling where it needs to be again.

If you ride single speed, get out there and support that Velodrome you have there. A good Velodrome is a rare and wonderful thing. If you haven't tried it, youre in for a treat! Back in Major Taylor's time, Indy had the largest Velodrome in the US that sat like 20,000 people. Then the guy that built it out-did himself with his next track...The Indianapolis Motor Speedway. All true.

Yep. Done the Velodrome a number of times. A lot of fun!

You're right. Indy has been rebuilt since the 70's. The downtown area has really been cleaned up and there are all kinds of great things to do. We have a very bike-friendly mayor and he has a lot of great plans for biking.
