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 Open copyright © Foto: Johannes Staudinger: Velodrom Linz Close copyright ![Velodrom Linz](https://www.upperaustria.com/fileadmin/_processed_/5/4/csm_Johannes_Staudinger_b__c_Johannes_Staudinger_4846c35f22.png "Foto: Johannes Staudinger: Velodrom Linz") 1. 2.
