“It felt like the Tour de France. Everyone had goosebumps, you could just feel the love” Have Scotland’s world championships been a success? We ask the riders, fans, and locals cycling GlasgowScotland2023
about the impact of the time trials on parking at the city’s castle.
“I’ve been walking about and it looks great. It’s amazing to see so many people in Glasgow. I was over in the west end yesterday, and it was lovely just seeing all the bikes and all the cyclists,” he told road.cc during the weekend’s junior races. However, there’s one aspect of the criticism from the non-cycling world that has Kyle nodding vociferously in agreement with the mob: and that’s the city’s pothole problem, and the council’s seemingly “selective” decision to repair only the roads set to be used as part of the urban circuit.
Those snail-like crossings have not gone down well with those desperate to get to Waterstones either, with this writer hearing more than a few sweary mutterings in the many logjams, as if for some people waiting to cross a road was an entirely new phenomenon. “We do know that it’s upset a few folk in the city. But the majority of people are coming with their families, they’re sitting with their kids, and they’re waving at the cyclists as they pass. It’s so nice to see. The atmosphere has been absolutely great. I’ve volunteered for a few things, and I’m having a blast.
“I think it’s great for Glasgow,” she said. “It’s good for the economy, to bring people in to see the city and what it can produce.”One of those fans attracted to Glasgow by the allure of a week and a half of non-stop racing is David, a cycling fan from the Flemish city of Leuven, which hosted the road worlds in 2021.
“It’s quite nice getting around on these bikes, which work well about twenty percent of the time,” he laughs. “But it’s been great getting around the city and to the velodrome on them. You’re way quicker on a bike, and it’s way more fun as well.
