Go Bike! Strathclyde Cycle Campaign
Achievements

What we've achieved so far

  • A commitment from Glasgow City Council to a 375km Glasgow Cycle Network, to be built over 10 years starting from 1998
  • Advance Stop Lines for Cyclists
  • The Colleges Cycle Route linking Glasgow city centre, west end and Jordanhill
  • A cycle route partially implemented through, rather than around, Glasgow city centre (West Nile Street/Gordon Street)
  • Reopening and retention of the "temporary" Bells Bridge, at least until a new bridge is built at Finnieston
  • Loch Lomond cycle route between Balloch, Luss and Tarbet
  • Cycle routes that actually link up to other cycle routes rather than just a handful of unconnected routes
  • CycleCity Guides "Glasgow Cycling Map"
  • Secure cycle lockers at several railway stations
  • Increases in bike parking
  • Overturning plans to make Kelvin Way one-way

What's still to do

  • Progress on implementing the Glasgow Cycle Network
  • Cycling measures at major junctions such as Charing Cross
  • Linking the Forth & Clyde Canal to the Glasgow Cycle Network at Spiers Wharf, near the city centre
  • Clyde Tunnel personal safety issues
  • Legalise cycling through Ashfield, Bridgeton, South Nitshill and Erskine bus gates
  • A Paisley to Renfrew cycle route, via Netherhill Road and Sandy Road
  • Getting a proposed Uddingston to Strathclyde Park cycle route implemented
  • More links to and from cycle routes, for instance, to residential areas and railway stations
  • Further increases in bike parking
  • Upping standards of cycle route design and construction
