Dr. Una May:
If I could conclude, cycling is one of the identified key sports. It is one of the fastest-growing sports in its participation rates and has been identified in the national sports policy. One of the challenges is that cycling is becoming quite high risk on the public roads. Unfortunately, there have been a number of deaths of cyclists on the roads. From the point of view of the growth and development of the sport, it is very important that we have environments where we can nurture, grow and develop activities in a safe environment. A velodrome would be an example of that.
