British cycling has been given a huge boost today with the
announcement of a £22 million cycling complex to be developed in east
London. The announcement was made by London mayor Ken Livingstone and
Lord Sebastian Coe, head of London's bid for the 2012 Olympics, on the
day that a 13-strong team from the International Olympic Committee
arrived in London to assess the city's bid.

Livingstone said that the cycling complex will be built whether or not
London's Olympic bid proves successful. Located in the Lower Lea
Valley in the east London borough of Waltham Forest, the 34-hectare
complex will comprise a 1,500-seat velodrome, an international
standard BMX track, an outdoor cycle speedway circuit, a 1.6km road
racing circuit, and a cross-country mountain bike course.
