GLASGOW roads will close on Sunday for a city cycling event.
HSBC UK Let's Ride Glasgow is a free cycling festival and everyone is invited.
On their website, the event organisers say: "We’re closing the roads to traffic in Glasgow on Sunday, August 4 and hosting a free cycling festival for everyone.
"There’s lots to do – from fun activities and challenges for the whole family to music, local street food and live stunt shows. Plus a few surprises on the day.
"Come along and enjoy seeing your city from the saddle. You don’t have to do the full distance – just as much or as little as you want. You don’t need to be an experienced cyclist. There will be no cars on the road, so you can wobble, zig-zag and stop as much as you like.
"It’s free, fun and the perfect activity for the whole family. So, what are you waiting for?
"Everyone’s invited – see you there!"
