Pictured at last weekend’s UCI World Championships in Glasgow, two of the most successful riders to come out of Scotland, Ian Archibald and Andy Welsh, along with Andy’s dad, checking out the Elite racing. Both Ian and Andy lined up together in lanes 7 and 8 37 years ago in the 15-year-old final at the 1986 World Championships in Slough. Three decades later, Ian placed 4th in the 50+ Cruiser at last week’s Worlds, while 1986 British, European, and World Champion Andy looks like he hasn’t aged a day since his dominant year.
On top of all the memories and history being made in Glasgow, Scottish BMX history runs deep. We’ll dig into more as we continue documenting.
