UCI Cycling World Championships organisers say Scotland must build on its success to get more people on bikes.
Organisers of the UCI Cycling World Championships hope Scotland can seize the opportunity created by the event and encourage more people onto bikes.
UCI chair Paul Bush said he was very proud of Scotland and Glasgow, and drew a comparison with 2014's Commonwealth Games, also held in the city."It's the first time I've seen this city come alive since 2014," he told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme. He said there had also been a "fantastic culture of our volunteers", with 4,500 people giving their time to help.Mr Bush said cycling had an important part to play in improving people's health, and that continued investment in infrastructure was needed to get more people on bikes.The 2023 event was the largest UCI championships ever held in one place. More than 8,000 cyclists from 151 nations have taken part.
The council says there is now a total of 258 miles of cycling infrastructure in the city, including dedicated lanes across Glasgow.
