NEED TO KNOW

The city’s oldest and arguably most loved green space is no stranger to bikes, being part of National Cycle Route 75 (connecting Argyll to Edinburgh). There’s so much to see in the park, including the 143ft tall Nelson’s Monument, St Andrew’s Suspension Bridge, McLennan Arch, plus monuments and fountains galore.

But it’s never seen anything like it’s about to – as the world’s best riders gather to compete in the BMX Freestyle Park, BMX Freestyle Flatland and Trials Championships at the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships.
