October sees us revert to the shorter Sunday morning rides for the winter period, and sees also our first ride over the long-awaited Govan Bridge.
We will start by heading to the bridge at Yorkhill Quay and cross to Govan, though it’s unlikely to be as busy as it was the opening weekend!

Parents and children from Shawlands Bike Bus and campaigners from GoBike have presented a jumbo “Thank You” card to staff at a bike lane consultation in Pollokshaws Burgh Hall.

Our postponed annual ride focusing on cycling infrastructure in Glasgow will be this coming Sunday. We shall take a look at a number of new and recent developments on the north side of the city, starting by heading for the Riverside Museum where we will see the new bridge to Govan taking shape.
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.

I was disappointed by recent unbalanced coverage of Glasgow City Council proposals to develop North East Active Travel Routes (NEATR) in the Springburn area. Glasgow Times reported on a local group, supported by two Labour councillors, which was opposed to the plans.

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.

Join us on Sunday when we will head out of Glasgow along the Loch Lomond Railway Path, but only as far as Dumbarton. After the lunch stop at the café in the park there will be a tour around the Dumbarton area to see some of the local attractions, including views up and down the River Clyde, looking over towards the castle, and passing by Strathleven House, before rejoining the cycle route to return to Glasgow.
A bumper GoBike weekend is coming up, with the delayed GoBike AGM on Saturday at the Pearce Institute in Govan and then our ride on Sunday.
