Child cycling helmet
- PART OF:
- Two cycling helmets
Child cycling helmet, Limar brand 515 Superlight model. This helmet was used 2011-2013 at the National Cycling Centre.
The National Cycling Centre opened in 1994 on the site of the demolished Stuart Street power station, it was the UK’s first Olympic-standard indoor velodrome track. It was a keystone in the city’s ambitious plans to regenerate East Manchester.
The velodrome’s unique community comprises everyone from Britain’s elite cyclists to novices and youth riders. It is said to be the busiest venue of its kind in the world, and it continues to grow and improve. People as young as 9 can book a taster session with their family.
Olympic gold medallist Jason Kenny started out with the Eastlands Velo youth team cycling on this track. And Jason Queally went from a taster session to Olympic gold at the Sydney games in just 4 years.
