Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
'Maindy track is a really important place to me. It’s where I first rode a track bike, and where I was welcomed into the Maindy Flyers as a ten-year-old. I’m a firm believer that without stumbling across this facility minutes from where I grew up, I would never have got into the world of cycling that’s been my life for the past 15 years.' Elinor Barker, European, World and Olympic Gold Medallist
