Nice to see the structural issues at Hemmingway were not as extensive as thought.
We may see the real cladding on the Velodrome before the new year,

This is a project that is certainly benefitting from our "extended Fall" weather. Or at least the workers who are constructing it.

With the new Velodrome, Peter Hemingway Pool, Queen Elizabeth Planetarium and Telus World of Science all adjacent to one another, Coronation Park should be renamed to 'Galaxy Park' or something since all look like they could be from another planet and two of those were expressly constructed for space research / learning.

^so will the general public be able to rent a bike and go for a spin around the track?

I suspect there will be classes, but no drop in. Track riding is a specialty. Even the roadies I know take it as a new sport. You would have to prove competence to use the track. and being a wood surface you would not want it damaged.

Yes, plus the risk of injuring others with a fall or crash. These bikes don't have brakes on them either which takes some getting used to, or at least didn't when I rode at the velodrome some 25 years ago.

This project broke ground less than 2 years ago, so the amount of progress feels insane but awesome to see!

Looks like final cladding starts maybe in March or April.
