| Comment | I'm a big cycling fan and this week has been brilliant. Aside from the men's RR going down in cycling history as one of the all-time great one-day races, I've seen some epic track events, and enjoyed the really important precedent of the paracycling getting equal prominence in the scheduling.
Today I spent all afternoon on Glasgow Green watching the mens and womens BMX freestyle finals, with [a frankly reckless disregard for the basic laws of physics](https://i.imgur.com/ls9a9OJ.png) from the best riders in the world today.
The crowds and support have been amazing, and all the foreign visitors I've met have nothing but praise for our city.
I entirely understand those with no interest in this being peeved at the inconvenience it's caused them, but I hope they at least appreciate this event has been among the best of its kind and - as the first time the UCI events have been held together - Glasgow has really set a benchmark that will undoubtedly be remembered by the 100s of millions of international cycling viewers. |
