Hundreds on Armstrong Tweet ride

About 300 people have joined an impromptu bike ride with cycling legend Lance Armstrong after he issued an open invitation on a Twitter post, reports the BBC.

The seven-times Tour de France winner alerted fans that he was coming to Scotland during a Tweet on Monday.

He posted: "Hey Glasgow, Scotland! I'm coming your way tomorrow. Who wants to go for a bike ride?"

Up to 300 people are thought to have turned out for the event - including Scottish former cycling champion, Graeme Obree.
