Minnesota Cycling Center

Help us build a home for track cycling, education and entertainment.

We've set a fundraising goal of $20,000 by the end of 2024 for planning, design, and to support the initial steps to secure a site and continue and expand our after-school bike-centric STEM programming. 

Your donations will ensure we have the ability to keep things rolling!

Bikes teach and do so much more! 

The Minnesota Cycling Center is a nonprofit organization with a mission to build and operate a velodrome that serves to engage, inspire and challenge current and future cyclists.

A Community Event Space

The velodrome’s design places a strong emphasis on sustainability, incorporating eco-conscious materials and energy-efficient technologies. Ensuring spectator comfort, seating arrangements offer multiple viewpoints for fans to soak in the excitement of every thrilling moment. The facility will host a variety of training programs, workshops, and events catering to cyclists of all ages and skill levels. The proposed facility will also house indoor recreational courts accessible to Richfield residents that could be used for basketball, volleyball, or the rising sport of pickleball.

Building Academic Success and Physical Fitness

The MN Cycling Center brings cycling within reach of kids and adults from all walks of life. With this simple machine, both kids and adults can explore their world and embrace a healthy lifestyle. While the bicycle is our vehicle for reaching people, our educational programming will make the real impact. Kids will take the knowledge they gain in the classroom into our athletic facilities where they’ll put it to the test. 

We work closely with local curriculum experts to deliver a unique science-based suite of educational programs for kids centered around the science of sports. We’re currently delivering our program after-school in 3 Minneapolis and St. Louis Park schools. We are expanding the programming to Richfield elementary schools this fall!

A Community Effort

We need your help to make this vision become a reality. Your contributions will help us reach kids and preserve the rich history of track cycling in Minnesota.
