> From the outside, the Cleveland velodrome looks like a Noah’s ark of modern materials, with high, sloping sides cradled in scaffolding. Its floor is of marine plywood bolted to sections of steel roof trusses — the kind that support the ceiling in big-box stores. It took 250 people more than 3,000 hours to build. (Here’s a YouTube video of the work.) More than 100 people made donations of $1,000 or more toward the $300,000 cost.
