Strathclyde Cycle Campaign
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.
…o’ Mice an’ Men, Gang aft agley.” Happy Burns Night! Rabbie lived in Dumfries for a while and this first issue of 2024 includes events on Galloway and Ayrshire’s hopes to become a new national park (before the bid goes to the Scottish Parliament). Also, there are updates on two City Deal plans for “relief roads” with question marks about active travel links around them.
In the Southside, there’s a day of workshops in Govanhill. A few pre-consultations for development plans close soon, followed by the Development Frameworks for Pollok and Easterhouse. Nextbike have a survey about new hire station locations. Traffic Orders have started to re-appear, including ones for Avenues Plus.

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.
Plans for a few Paisley landmarks to connect with more green space. Glasgow has guidance on green belt, delivery, place and a few Development Frameworks. East Dunbartonshire gathers evidence at events for its Local Development Plan 3. Also, neighbourhood plans in East Kilbride and school streets in East Ayrshire.
The new look Digest is still coming together as well – hopefully in the New Year.

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.
Happy St Andrew’s Day.
Closing today – a consultation in Argyll and Bute plus two Liveable Neighbourhood plans for the Southside of the city.
Glasgow also has a glut of guidance, frameworks and traffic orders. North Lanarkshire looks at speed limits in Seven Lochs Wetland Park. Renfrewshire has a few more tries at taming traffic.
We’re still working on the new Digest (apologies for any stray test posts last week).

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.
Another shorter Digest for now while GoBike looks at a new way of producing these. There are both longer term strategies and more local consultations in this issue. Also, an update from Glasgow about more ups and downs for the Avenues programme.

Unfortunately, this Digest is even later than other recent issues as it’s become a struggle for your author to find time for them. This issue has less info than previous ones so it’s quicker to produce. The format of the Digest will have to change further to make it sustainable in future.

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.
