First of all I’d like to say a massive thanks to Redbull and ChargeBikes for bringing the Minidrome event to Glasgow it was awesome!

I personally had a blast (even with a crippled back) and definitely drank to many Redbull’s. On top of that it was super cool to meet so many nice people including a brief chat with Andy from Fixed Mag and many other riders from all over Scotland, UK and Europe.

The racing action was good and the minidrome felt really nice to ride… although I think for me a bit more practice and a different bike setup would work better for next time… anyway I was so stoked to have raced and to have made it to the quarter finals, but when I saw on the big screen I was drawn up against the record holder and the overall winner Toms Alsberg of Latvia I felt my time was up. A sick day by all and I look forward to the next one!

We are putting together a mini-festival during Bike Week. Glasgow Bicycle Festival is a celebration of cycling culture. It aims to unite develop relations between the various cycling groups within Glasgow, as well as attract new people to ride bicycles. The program will last from 19-27th June.

Film screenings, rides, races, games, workshops and parties with the aim to encourage the public and network of cycling communities across the city to celebrate cycling and promote the activity in its varying forms.

The festival will combine events for everyone from beginners to hardcore cyclists, so if you ride a bike; fixed, free, geared, bi, tri or anything in between, the chances are you’ll have fun.

Details will be added as we progress, get in touch at gcf@cruxof.it if you’d like to include any of your events in the programme.
