EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the thrilling moment of the start of the Nations Cup cycle race in Scotland during the 1980s. The old man in the peaked cap, with a determined expression on his face, is about to blow the starting whistle and fire his gun to signal the beginning of the race. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling crowd, with spectators eagerly anticipating the action. The man's transport of choice for signaling the start is an unusual yet fitting addition to the traditional cycling event. Dressed in layers to brave the cool Scottish weather, he stands tall and authoritative, ready to unleash the energy and excitement that lies ahead. The cyclists, poised at the starting line, are a testament to the dedication and passion that fuels this sport. The photograph transports us back to the 1980s, a time when the thrill of competition and the simple joy of riding a bicycle were at the heart of cycling culture. This image is a reminder of the rich history and enduring appeal of this popular sport.
