Today’s cycle ride: Drumpellier Park and Cranhill

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!

Consultation Extra: Gordon Street & Central Station entrance

Gordon St, Glasgow with Central Station canopy and sign saying "Outgoing vehicles only"

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…

Glasgow infrastructure update, Summer 2025

View up Pitt St past covered bike traffic light to fenced off bike lane going up hill

In case anyone else has been losing track of all the construction projects going on just now… Glasgow City Council put out an Avenues Programme Progress Report (PDF) in April 2025. However, a few that were due to be complete by May 2025 are still going on. So, it seemed like a good time to revive GoBike’s Infrastructure Update and have a look…

Snapshot of progress

The following is a snapshot of active travel works in and around the city centre during May/June 2025.

Most of these are part of the Avenues Project (or Avenues Plus). Not all projects include segregated cycle lanes, for example: Holland St and Sauchiehall Precinct (but the latter has removed raised platforms so there’s more space for cycling). The photos give an idea of how things are taking shape.
