Minnesota Cycling Center

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

We need to raise $60,000 by the end of 2023 for planning, design, and to support the initial steps to secure the site. Your donations will ensure we have the ability to pass this major milestone.

Bikes Teach! 

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.

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 the Minneapolis  and St. Paul. The MNCC and City of Richfield seek to expand the programming to Richfield elementary schools in the near future. Public Schools for 4th & 5th graders. 

More Than a Classroom

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.

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.
