Artist Stephen Murray has created a rideable figure-of-eight roller coaster as an art installation at the The Briggait, Wasps Studios, Glasgow, titled 'The Comedown'.

"In the spirit of the Commonwealth Games, and harking back to Greco-Roman ideals of sport, competition and culture, artist Stephen Murray will build, install and manage a sculptural velodrome with a twist," said the gallery in a statement.

Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
