On a side note, I read an article somewhere about a year ago about a cycling program that started in some low-income town somewhere near Chicago, or thereabouts. It really inspired me and got me thinking that once I finish my PhD in Athens - I might work to get a similar program going there in Atlanta. I'd love to see people find new reasons to appreciate cycling beyond "Lance" and the image associated with professional road riding being the exclusive playground of a niche group, culture, race, you get my drift.
There is the Dick Lane Velodrome Youth Cycling League (free for kids 8-16 of East Point, GA where the track is located):
