Kidical Mass Glasgow – Sat 13 Sep
Kidical Mass Glasgow is coming to the Southside on Saturday 13 September
Why you may ask? We don’t know about you, but we believe…
Every child should be able to cycle to school safely. Yet we lack adequate, well-connected cycling infrastructure to make this happen.
Every child deserves to breathe in clean air. Yet, 93% of Glasgow schools are in areas that violate WHO guidelines on safe air to breathe. Yikes!
Every child should be safe in our public spaces. Yet, do you feel comfortable letting your child or young person enjoy our public spaces independently?
We want to ensure our public spaces are designed to keep our kids safe, healthy and happy. Something that will benefit all of us, because safe streets for kids are safe streets for all.
Ambitious? Absolutely! But it will also be bright, bold, colourful and most importantly totally joyous. Because that’s exactly what our public spaces should be. Fun, safe, and welcoming spaces to be.

Seven of us cycled east from the SEC along the Clyde today before turning north onto London Road and then towards Baillieston and Bargeddie.
After a break for lunch in Drumpellier Park, we started our return journey but stopped in Cranhill to admire the model lighthouses and winged figures around the water tower.
Yes, we had some rain early on but we soon dried out and could sit outside at the Park Cafe to eat our lunch.
Next month’s ride will be on Sunday 05 October, when we go to Goldenhill Park!
GoBike Annual General Meeting
You are invited to attend the GoBike Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday 17 September 2025.
The AGM will be a hybrid meeting – online via Zoom and in-person at the STUC Glasgow office, 8 Landressy Street Glasgow G40 1BP.
The AGM will be a great opportunity for members and others to hear what GoBike has been up to since our last AGM in March 2025 and to contribute to what GoBike should be focusing on over the next few years. We have also invited SPT (Strathclyde Partnership for Transport) and Voi to make short presentations as well.
You can book to attend the AGM here
The AGM papers will be sent to people once they have booked, along with a Zoom link if people have booked to attend online. All current members have already been sent the AGM invite and a link to the papers.

This ride will take us out through the East End of Glasgow to Drumpellier Country Park. We will start off on the Clyde Walkway.
Consultation Extra: Gordon Street & Central Station entrance
Coming back after summer holidays, for some of us, may involve leaving Glasgow Central station onto Gordon St. The scene you’re met with can vary from ‘hustle and bustle’ to a full-on three ring circus of buses, taxis, bikes, people and luggage coming from all angles. There’s a lot of conflict on the block of Gordon St at the station entrance, so it’s ripe for reorganisation. However, the current ‘public realm’ proposals leave a lot to be desired, especially for cycling.
GoBike thinks the changes exclude cycling. We need your help to respond and spread the word about the Gordon St SmartSurvey (consultation deadline: Sunday 24 August). In this article we explain the issues…

Ten of us set off yesterday from the SEC for a 46 mile round trip, five of us on conventional bikes and five using electric assistance – and there were some hills, so the power was switched on!
