Community Programs

Designed to forge lasting relationships between the broader community and the velodrome, our Air Products Community Programs focus on Youth and Adult programming designed to promote bike safety, fitness and self-confidence as well as creating a pathway for a lifelong enjoyment of cycling and healthy lifestyles.

The Air Products Programs create a lasting community legacy that renews itself from one generation of a rider to the next. We currently have an impressive number of coaches on our team who are themselves graduates of our programs – who each progressed  into racing and who are now in turn contributing to the legacy of Community Programs as coaches ready to lead the next generation of youth athletes or share their enthusiasm with adults learning about the track. These Air Products graduates represent our brand to Corporate Challenge Participants, Women’s Wednesday riders, Try The Track participants, Bicycle Racing League parents, and youth down to PeeWee Pedalers and Squirts! Keep reading to find the program that is right for you or your family members.

Anyone interested in becoming a VPCC coach for any of our great community programs, please check out the opportunities and requirements on our coaching page!

Should you find yourself wanting to come and ride the track, we do offer open training hours! Open training is open for anyone who wants to come and ride. Please check out our calendar for open training times. Any time that open training is listed, the track is open to the public. There are some rules to keep in mind for open training: road bikes are not allowed on the track when track bikes are in use, you must wear a helmet, and do not cross the track when bikes are being ridden– please use the bridge. If you are traveling a longer distance, we do have locker rooms open to the public so you can change and shower.
