Under Brailsford, Britain has become a track cycling superpower, culminating in record-breaking performances at the UCI World Championships, which finished last Sunday.
Home riders captured 11 medals, nine of them gold, including two for Wythenshawe-based Victoria Pendleton.
Indeed, all medals were made in Manchester.
The country's leading riders migrate to the North West to use the world class facilities; a legacy from the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
But Brailsford believes even greater success can be achieved.
"We couldn't have done it without the facilities at Sportcity," said Brailsford.
"Manchester is the home of British cycling and they've been fantastic to us.
Develop
"The council have been fantastic to us and it's probably the best velodrome in the world.
"But we're looking to further develop that.
"We're looking to develop some BMX racing and other facilities here.
"Working hand in hand with the council, we want to ensure Manchester is the leading city for world cycling."
Despite the Velodrome's success story, it won't be used competitively at the 2012 London Olympics.
A new cycling facility is planned, though Brailsford isn't too upset.
"I'm greedy," he said. "The more velodromes, the more access for people, the more people can train, the more potential future stars we can find."
More than 20,000 people attended the five days of racing, which helped confirm Manchester's reputation as the sporting capital of Britain.
A number of world records were set at this year's world championships, including in the women's pursuit by Brits, Rebecca Romero and Wendy Houvenhagel.
