#GlasgowCycleInfraDay19

So, when on your bike today, as part of your commute, group ride, or just popping down the street for some cake, take a photograph of that piece of infrastructure that you like, as well as one of that makes your heart sink every time you use it or pass it.

Post these photos to social media, with some witty comments, as well as tagging the location, including the street name, then final adding the hashtag #GlasgowCycleInfraDay19

It would also help us greatly if you could also add your posts to our interactive map. Just add a pin to the location on the map and include the URL of the relevant tweet.  Don’t worry if you can’t, as we will be going through the tweets and adding them to the map over the weekend.

You’ll be able to watch the gallery build throughout the day by keeping an eye on the hashtag on Twitter (other social media platforms are available). There have been lots of posts already added this morning already.

Remember, this is supposed to be an easy way of documenting a day in the life of Glasgow’s cycling infrastructure.  So please be sensible; bus most importantly… have fun!

The idea for #GlasgowCycleInfraDay is a simple one: we use twitter to record “a day in the life of Glasgow’s cycle lanes”.  A look at the good, the bad, and the simply absent cycling infrastructure over 24 hours.

Getting involved is even simpler still. Just grab your camera or your phone, if you see any cycling infrastructure you think is worth recording just take a photo and post it with this year’s hashtag #GlasgowCycleInfraDay19.  Remember and include the location of the infrastructure.

We will be collating the responses and handing them over to Glasgow City Council, to highlight where they’re letting us down and, just as importantly, what they’re getting right. 

To make it easier for us to do that, the more precise you can about the location of the image the easier it is for us to map.  In your post if you could please either tag the location or add the street name.

It would also help us massively if you could add the link to your post to the #GlasgowCycleInfraDay19 map This will allow others to see where has and where hasn’t been photographed across the city. We also use this to provide information back to the Council. The interactive map can be found here.

If you are not on social media you can also get involved. Take your photos either on your phone or camera and upload directly to the interactive #GlasgowCycleInfraDay19 map.

The more pictures we show the council, the more likely they are to understand what the city needs and this will help us be able to push for change.  So spread the word… and remember your phone/camera on Friday September 13th.
