The first bicycle racing at Love Street was the St Mirren Annual Sports on 27th July 1895, which included four bicycle handicap races. The American cyclist WG Hurst gave an exhibition of trick and fancy riding. Admission cost sixpence. Because of heavy rain before the event, several races were postponed and were run off during the following week.
The track at Love Street was not particularly well used, the local club Paisley Victoria BC, chose to hold their well attended race meetings at Underwood Park in the 1890s.
There was an international meeting on 8th August 1895 featuring French and British lady cyclists, but unfortunately there was a poor crowd, only 300 spectators were present. The British women included Miss Hutton, Miss Bailey and Miss Blackburn, the French women included Mlle Anna and Mlle Marcelle Voutre, some of these competitors went on to ride the 6 day race at the Royal Aquarium in London, later in the year. The Paisley Daily Express complained that "The Ladies races were slow."
St Mirren Annual Sports continued until 1898, they introduced racing in categories, top riders in the A category and the others in B. Attendance at the sports was poor and the track came in for some criticism about the sharpness of some corners. The St Mirren annual sports stopped in the late 1890s.
The Newark Bicycle Club of Port Glasgow held a club race meeting at Love Street on 25th June 1898, the events were a three miles novices handicap and a five miles club open handicap race. Kilbirnie CC revived their cycle meet on 28th July 1900, after a lapse of a few years, they were evicted from their previous ground at Kilbirnie, so they moved to Love Street. Attendance was quite low, mainly club followers. This was probably the last bicycle racing at Love Street.
St Mirren FC sold their ground to Tesco, this financed the building of a new ground at Greenhill Road, where they moved to in 2009. Tesco failed to get planning permission for a new supermarket and the old ground was subsequently developed for housing.
