Strathclyde Cycle Campaign
To kick off our shorter winter season rides, we will head along to Glasgow Harbour, then head through Knightswood and Blairdardie to climb up to Drumchapel, though it doesn’t yet look like this!.
Here’s a list of consultations going on in Glasgow and around Strathclyde (and one we missed…).

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!
This ride will take us out through the East End of Glasgow to Drumpellier Country Park. We will start off on the Clyde Walkway.
After Glasgow’s Gordon St consultation, here’s a list of consultations from outside the city. A few are closing over the weekend in North Ayrshire and Inverclyde.

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.

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…
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.
