UCI ARTISTIC CYCLING & CYCLE BALL CHAMPIONSHIPS GLASGOW 2023

OFFICIAL TOUR OPERATOR FOR THE UCI CHAMPIONSHIPS IN GLASGOW

Cycling with a difference!

Artistic cycling was invented by circus artists in 1888 and the Cycle-Ball was first played in 1983. From 11th August to 13th August 2023 the Emirates arena will host the world championships which will see very talented cyclists strive to come out on top!

Artistic Cycling

See riders perform a routine either solo, in pairs or in a team of four. See bikes been used in a completely different way with riders going round balanced on the handlebars. It is a spectacular event that is not to be missed! Come and cheer your country on as the riders aim for maximum points to win the World Championships!

Cycle Ball

With two players and one goal keeper on each team, it takes skill, control and stamina to come out on top. Using only the bike to control the ball, bikes don’t have breaks or gears so it takes strength and control to get the ball into the back of the net. The team with the most goals at the final whistle wins. Come down to the Emirates arena to see all the action for yourself!
