Forest City Velodrome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Forest City Velodrome is an indoor cycling facility located in London, Ontario, Canada. The building was originally constructed in 1963 as the London Gardens, home to the London Knights ice hockey team. In 1994 it was renamed London Ice House. In early 2005 the facility was remodeled into the Forest City Velodrome by local cycling enthusiast and veteran track racer Rob Good and Albert Coulier's Apollo Velodrome Systems company.

The facility is unique as it is the only velodrome in all of Ontario and one of three indoor cycling facilities in all of North America.

The Forest City Velodrome measures 138 metres per lap with 50 degree bankings and 17 degree banked straights.
