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
