Time Out says

During the Olympics London went cycle-crazy, probably because we were winning quite a bit. Now the famous Pringle shaped venue is open to the public, and there’s plenty to encourage them to get back on their bikes.

The Lee Valley Velopark is unique in bringing together four Olympic cycling disciplines in one place. As well as the track cycling facilities inside the temperature controlled velodrome the BMX track outside has been remodelled and now features 390m of bumps, curves and jumps. A looping, one-mile floodlit road cycle circuit has been created and there are five miles of brand new mountain biking tracks.

The velo park, which is located at the northern end of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park’s north-east concourse, offers a wide programme of events, from classes for first-time riders to major world championships. Some sessions need to be booked but the centre also offers pay-and-ride slots for cyclists who just want to turn up and have a go.

What’s on

Brompton World Championship

Brompton fans, assemble: this one day get-together is perfect for showing off your skill at zipping round the track. Over 750 competitors will start the race by running to their bike, unfolding it with effortless ease (hopefully) then zipping round Lee Valley's velodrome. There's also a relay race if you want to compete as a group, with fancy dress welcome for anyone looking to increase their fun factor but decrease their aerodynamic properties.  There'll also be loads of other Brompton-centric fun, including demos and test rides, merch, bike folding competitions, workshops, and entertainment throughout the day. It's free to watch and light of heart, offering a quirky antidote to other, more serious cycle-centric get-togethers.
