The Velodrom is about more than lap times. The Velodrom Linz - Association for Sport and Culture centred around Johannes Staudinger teaches technique and safety at eye level. However, if you want to get stuck into the bends, you should definitely book a training slot in advance.
Flow on the pump track

Right next to the track is the hello yellow pump track where kids can try out their first turns while experienced bikers hone their flow. The transition from playful rolling to targeted training is seamless, which is exactly what makes this place so inviting.
Trails around the city

From the trails on the Pfenningberg to the Granitland, nature, technology and views over the city alternate. Even Dominik Raab, a trial bike pro from Linz, appreciates precisely this interplay and the freedom to directly combine urban and natural terrain.
Always follow the Danube

Go on holiday!
The people in Upper Austria make holidays special - and
they do their work full of energy, with depth and never without charm.
Let them tell you about it.
The origin of the steep curve
The hello yellow velodrome was initiated as a heartfelt project and deliberately conceived as a community meeting place. It is aimed at competitive athletes as well as the curious, young and experienced riders. The track lives from the people who look after it, organise it and fill it with life. The volunteer work arises from the joy of passing on a special discipline and developing together.
"The idea from the outset was to create a place that is open. The Velodrom is the result of a lot of commitment and joint work, not just for competitive cycling, but for everyone who wants to experience track cycling. It's about sharing experience, enthusiasm and developing cycling in the city."
Johannes Staudinger, Velodrom Linz - Association for Sport and Culture
