James McCallum (born 27 April 1979, Uddingston/Bellshill, Glasgow)[2] is a Scottish racing cyclist, representing Scotland in the Team Pursuit, Points & Scratch Races at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, and again in 2006 in Sydney in the Scratch, Points & Road Races, winning a bronze medal in the Scratch race.[3]
Until 2007, between racing and training, McCallum worked night shifts as a nurse.[4] He is currently the Scottish Cycling Coordinator, combining the job with his racing and training, working to promote cycling in Scotland.[5] McCallum's father was a cyclist before him, but McCallum dabbled in many sports before settling on cycling, at one point he was a gymnast.[6]
