    Great overview. Can’t wait to see them all build and used. I partly moved away from Glasgow, due to the population and congestion in the city centre.

    Nice update, thank you. I use the South route heading into town a lot and it makes a big difference. Be good if something could be done in Shawlands though.

    Great video! I'm still waiting for a cycle lane on Great Western Road around Woodlands, trying to cycle there is daunting because cars can park in the bus lane...

    They need to trim the trees on the cycle route from St.Peters cemetery entrance (London Road) to the city centre.

    Read this in Glasgow times today:
    The Avenues project from Charing Cross to Rose Street has a two-way cycle lane.
    It will not extend beyond that point, although cyclists can still use the street as it is designated a “core path”.

    Just pity the council doesn't maintain the cycle lanes, full of dirt washed off the main roads and glass, most of the ones I cycle on,

    Oh this is exciting! Shame funding has been cut for other parts of Scotland, though. The cycling infrastructure in South Ayrshire, for example is very poor. The few cycle lanes we have are used by drivers as parking spaces 😢

    It looks great and I certainly would be more encouraged to pop up from Ayrshire to spend time seeing the sights around Glasgow. I just recently bought the Trailmaps of Glasgow City so hoping most of this is marked on it. Having said that as a disabled person who visits Byres Road on a regular basis to collect my fish by car I’m thinking I might not be able to do so. I’m also wondering if this along with the LEZ is going push visitors out of the city?

      Looking forward to your next video. I’m also curious about the trail maps of Glasgow city.
      Byres road will still have plenty of parking once the cycle lane is complete. Hopefully more people being able to cycle when visiting reduces the amount of parked cars in the area. It looks like they are doing the construction slowly to avoid disruption and to maintain as much parking as possible.
      When the LEZ zone was 1st introduced I noticed the city was quieter but it’s now got back to the same amount of traffic as before and in my opinion It needs to cover more vehicles than it does just now.

      @@glasgowcycles Thanks. I’ve only had a quick glance at the map but shall hopefully put it into use at some point and see what it’s like. I usually use Komoot to plan any rides so this is just to complement that.

    Would love to see something down the entire Paisley road west but I think that may be a step too far for GCC.

    • @glasgowcycles
      @glasgowcycles  5 месяцев назад +2

      I'm sure this is in the planning stage and would be awesome.

    Jamaica Street bridge has a cycle lane,but then it disappears at Bridge St underground!
    Wouldn't it make more sense to continue it down to Shawlands?
    Ans-Of course
    Why did they not continue it?

  • @dannyfeller7034
    @dannyfeller7034 5 месяцев назад

    Another great waste of money by Scottish gov and Glasgow city council, barely see cyclists using the routes as they are not legally required to use them. Would have been better installing a metro, that way it might benefit local businesses.
