Strathclyde Cycle Campaign
We will head through the western side of Glasgow before reaching Bearsden and Milngavie. Along the way we will pass a couple of historic buildings. After visiting the Mugdock and Craigmaddie Reservoirs, we will return towards Glasgow along the Bears Way, and then join the Forth & Clyde Canal to head towards Speirs Wharf, finishing around lunchtime.
Yes, 6 brave souls headed out in the wind and rain for an excellent 15 miles – yes, just 15 miles of a ride, but we saw lots.
We saw football grounds, old and new, cycle tracks, parks (lots of), a museum or two, cycle infrastructure and rivers. We climbed hills and speeded down them, avoided dogs and their owners, just about missed cars crossing the South City Way and, despite the weather, had a great time.
Do join us next time, or the one after. The infrastructure ride planned for January, but delayed because of ice, will now be in April. For December’s ride, cancelled because of snow, check our website Rides page and we look forward to seeing you sometime.
This ride will see us take a tour around some of the parks, sporting venues, and other attractions around the south side of the city.
We will start with the south west of the city and work around to the south east, ending up back at the River Clyde in time for lunch.
Happy New Year GoBikers!
For our annual ride focusing on cycle infrastructure in Glasgow, we shall take a look at a number of new and recent developments on the north side of the city.
Sunday 3 December 2023 – All Around Glasgow
***Cancelled due to snow***
Yes, Andy has cancelled our ride. Do stay snug, warm and safe whatever you are doing instead.
It has been some time since we did a circular ride all around Glasgow. We will start by heading through the West End, then use the Clyde Tunnel cycle tunnel to reach Govan, and from there we will head across the South Side to reach Glasgow Green.
This ride will see us meeting, as usual, near the north end of Bell’s Bridge at 10:00 and then only going (to) Halfway! We will head along the riverside to Glasgow Green, then onto the recently upgraded East City Way through Parkhead.

On recent GoBike rides (first Sunday of each month) we have called in to see progress on the construction of this bridge, which will link Govan and Partick. Yesterday morning (Saturday 14 October) as two of us cycled out to Bowling, we noted the appearance of a yellow crane.

This coming Sunday we will head out through Glasgow’s South Side, including Pollok Park, to Darnley, then climb up to the reservoirs between Newton Mearns and Barrhead. Our ride will then continue into Barrhead and return to Glasgow through Pollok, ending up in Govan to see progress on the new bridge to Partick.
On this ride we will check out the Strathkelvin Railway Path between Kirkintilloch and Strathblane.
