Good news for Penrose Park and for bicyclists

From today's St. Louis Post-Disptach comes a good story:

Local bicyclists get wheels turning to restore Penrose Park velodrome

The long-abandoned velodrome in Penrose Park will probably reopen next year due to the efforts of dedicated cyclists, bringing more people through one of north city's most revitalized neighborhoods. No credit goes to the self-defeating Parks Department, whose officials still think that there are too many parks in the city for its current population, when in truth there is about enough for today's population and certainly not enough for the St. Louis peak population of 856,000.
