There is a virtual festival of cycling on TV in the UK. The cycling is mainly taking place in Glasgow. The cycling games are on for 11 days till next weekend.

I have never seen so many ways to use bicycles as I have over the last couple of days. Road races, madison racing, time trials, track cycling. BMX freestyle, BMX racing, artistic cycling? then there is a type of football using bikes. I can’t believe how at versions of using cycles there are.

I am amazed at the skills on show and the fact that paracycling is included has added to the spectacle and has improved the understanding of the crowds and viewers of cyclists with physical and or mental disabilities. It’s a wonderful example of how sport can be integrated. Very cool.
