Just to inform our members that we’ve had a note from the council saying that the humpback pedestrian bridge over the River Kelvin and staircase that links the bridge from the Kelvin Walkway / Cycleway to the Botanic Gardens (at the public toilets) will be closed for major repairs from Monday 19 February until the end of June 2018.
We are told that informative signage, including an alternative route will be displayed in the area. We are currently in discussion with the council about what their policy is on providing for active travellers during works and so if you do have any issues here please let us know.
We have reduction in quantity but a considerable increase in interest in the consultations in this issue of our digest. Read on: Continue reading “Consultations Digest Issue 2, 06 February 2018 – Byres Road to the Barras to Kirkintilloch”

Sunday 4 February – East End Parks
We have previously had park rides in the north, south and west of the city, so now it is the turn of the east. As well as the big parks of Glasgow Green, Tollcross, Hogganfield and Alexandra Parks, we shall visit a number of smaller parks and open spaces, and a few other points of interest. The ride will be mostly on quiet roads and asphalt paths, except at Cardowan Moss (see image above) where we will be using well made unpaved paths. An 18 mile ride ending up in the City Centre in time for lunch.
Meet 10am Bell’s Bridge, Congress Road, Glasgow.

So we will be giving you far more information than we have in the past and we hope that this will encourage you, as GoBike members, to not only give us your views as to how we should respond but also to put your views directly to the organisation that has issued the consultation.

Happy New Year to all of you! Feeling overindulged and in need of some air in your lungs? Well GoBike has the thing for you… Did you know that we run monthly cycle rides showing routes in and outwith the Glasgow area? Oh yes we do, and we’d love you to join us.
Our next ride is this Sunday 7th January and takes in a 15 mile safari around the inner city, with our annual review of Glasgow’s cycle infrastructure. Planned and led by Andy Preece, each monthly ride has a different destination – see our Cycle Rides section on the website for more info or check out the events pages on our Facebook.
Let’s keep our wheels turning in 2018!
