A group of local cycling advocates are working to bring a "world-class" public indoor BMX bike race track and dirt jump park to West Des Moines.
Why it matters: Our area is already known for cycling trails that attract riders nationwide.
Details: BMX bikes are smaller and used for performing tricks, racing and off-road riding.
State of play: When Kennedy moved to Des Moines, he noticed that while there are outdoor places like Ewing Park for riders, there's nowhere to ride BMX during the winter.
