Then we will go into Erskine on the New Town’s path network, to end up at the waterfront. Next will be the Erskine Bridge, then return through Clydebank to Glasgow on the Loch Lomond path.

26 miles, a mix of paths and back streets, only a few short bits on busier roads, and little in the way of climbing. Potentially stopping in Clydebank for lunch.

Meet at 10:00 Sunday 05 April at the north end of Bell’s Bridge near the SEC.

For more information about GoBike rides see here

Next we will cross over into Clydebank to visit the site of the Roman Fort at Goldenhill Park, and onwards to Dalmuir Park. The canal path will take us into Clydebank town centre, and we will visit the riverside as we start our return into Glasgow. The ride will finish around lunchtime.

20 miles, mostly on paths and quieter roads, with an unpaved path around the city boundary.

Meet 10am Bell’s Bridge, Congress Road, Glasgow.
Please note the Great Scottish Run takes place the same day. Although our route is not affected, getting to our start point may be, if arriving from the East or South.

Ten of us set off yesterday from the SEC for a 46 mile round trip, five of us on conventional bikes and five using electric assistance – and there were some hills, so the power was switched on!

We made our way out to the canal at Anniesland and then up to Milngavie before getting on to the West Highland Way. Not ideal for most of us, better with a mountain bike, but there were some glorious views:

The railway path was good to cycle on, although walkers were out in abundance – some for a short stroll and some doing the whole West Highland Way. We had lunch in Killearn, looking across the wonderful view and then we cycled down the hill and on to the cycle path that took us over the Endrick Water and to Croftamie.

The bridge is quite high and narrow but fine to use:

We continued on to Jamestown and Alexandria, from where we followed the path along the River Leven to Dumbarton.
This was easy cycling and after a wee rest in Dumbarton we all made our way back to Glasgow, some following the canal all the way to the city and some following the old railway line through Bowling.

Next month our ride will be shorter, heading out east with a cafe lunch stop in Drumpellier Park (more details here on the website).

We will start by going through the West End of Glasgow, then head for the Bears Way cycle route.

Then onto part of the West Highland Way once clear of Milngavie. After lunch in Killearn, we will head westwards through Croftamie to reach the Vale of Leven. Return to Glasgow along the railway path and canal.

45 miles, with the occasional steeper climb, and some bits on main roads. Various sections of path on this route are not asphalted. A shorter 30 mile ride can be had by joining us as far as Alexandria or Dumbarton for the train back to Glasgow.

We will meet at our usual starting point, on the north riverside, to the east of Bells Bridge, near the Armadillo at 10:00
Bring a packed lunch or buy something in Killearn.

The 184-metre, twin-leaf bridge has been built as part of the £1.3bn Glasgow City Region City Deal. It swings open to allow river traffic such as the PS Waverley to move freely along the River Clyde. The opening was also reported on the STV News and the BBC News

The bridge forms part of a newly opened 5km active travel route connecting Yoker and Clydebank to Pailsy town centre.

You can check when the bridge will be open to river traffic and therefore unavailable to pedestrians, cyclists and motor traffic on the dedicated webpage https://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/renfrew-bridge

This issue includes a regional strategy, a few TROs, openings, development plans, Lanarkshire parks and Renfrewshire villages.

There’s another event about Elderslie TODAY 2–7pm in Erskine Sport Centre.

There have been some responses about the future of the Digest. They’ve been split between ones who like the current Digest and those in favour of a more general newsletter.

I’m still open to receiving more responses. Please send your thoughts about the Digest to: consultations@gobike.org.

Featured Consultation

SPT Draft Regional Active Travel Strategy

Organisation: Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT).
Subject: A chance to have your say about a proposed network of walking/cycling routes for towns and villages across the Strathclyde region. The gist is main ‘spoke’/corridor routes towards Glasgow, a few radial routes and a triangle of links in Ayrshire. These are shown in the loosely labelled Connecting Places map and other numbered AT network maps (which can be hard to follow). SPT seem to prioritise cross-boundary routes, with varying results. For example, the existing route from Uddingston to Viewpark (SPT number it as 50_10) – a 1km upgrade where NCN 74 & 75 meet on North/South Lanarkshire boundary – is a ‘top’ priority. Meanwhile, a niche cross-region route from Lanark to Livingstone (CRR_12 – South Lanarkshire/West Lothian) is ‘high’ priority at 32km! However, a 5km route from East Kilbride to Hamilton, South Lanarkshire (37_10) – currently 60mph roads with no safe cycle route between Scotland’s 6th and 8th largest settlements – is only ‘medium’ priority!? The quality of cycle track described is an improvement on some of the plans SPT have funded in the past (most notably the redesign of Pollok Roundabout). However, the strategy has no timescales or budgets and SPT lost all their capital funding last year. Despite that setback, they are influential in the regional Glasgow Bus Partnership and on ‘bus vs cycle’ routes (via Glasgow’s Spatial Delivery Framework).
Featured: Consultation Extra (20-10-23).
Website links: Regional Active Travel Strategy webpage, Regional AT Strategy storymap (including interactive Priority map), draft Regional ATS document (PDF) and Regional ATS online survey.
Deadline: 1 September 2024.

Section 1: Current Consultations
(in date order for responses)

1.1: Calderglen & Chatelherault Country Parks masterplans

Council: South Lanarkshire.
Subject: Consultation about masterplans for Calderglen Country Park, East Kilbride and Chatelherault Country Park, Hamilton/Ferniegair. Calderglen (by A726 Strathaven Rd) could become part of segregated route already started on Churchill Ave and due to go via nearby SL College. Chatelherault contains part of current NCN74 (between Larkhall and Hamilton). Potential for cycle infrastructure at eastern entrance and possible links west to Barncluith.
Website links: SL View webpage with survey link.
Deadline: Officially passed [14 August 2024] but survey seemed to still be open.

1.2: North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2 – Topic Paper Consultation (Batch 3)

Council: North Lanarkshire.
Subject: Supplementary guidance topic papers for NL LDP2.
Featured: Digest 158, 1.6 (Batch 1 – we seem to have missed Batch 2, apologies).
Website links: NL LDP2 Topic Papers Consultation webpage and Topic Paper Consultation – Batch 3 survey.
Deadline: 29 August 2024.

1.3: Elderslie For Everyone (further workshop)

Council: Renfrewshire.
Subject: Turns out there’s another event for Elderslie consultation.
Event: Thursday 22 August, 2pm – 7pm in Erskine Sport Centre, Kilpatrick Dr, Erskine PA8 7AF. An online survey is due to open. “If you live in Erskine, share your views and help determine future improvements to greenspaces within the town centre and riverfront…”

Deadline: 6 September 2024 (5pm).

1.4: New parking laws (Renfrewshire)

Council: Renfrewshire.
Subject: How Renfrewshire will implement the national pavement parking prohibitions. Apparently “enforcing these in Renfrewshire from November 2024.” However, 22 locations would be exempt – the consultation is about the exemption order. RC invite feedback but only by letter or email: ei@renfrewshire.gov.uk.
Website links: Renfrewshire Council’s New parking laws webpage.
Deadline: 11 September 2024.

1.5: Renfrewshire Villages Safe Walking Initiative

Council: Renfrewshire.
Subject: Despite the name, it seems to include cycling: “…transport consultants Stantec [will] carry out a study in Bishopton, Bridge of Weir, Elderslie and Lochwinnoch. The study aims to create a safer environment in the villages for all road users by managing traffic speeds, to encourage people to walk, wheel, and cycle more often for local trips.”
Website links: Renfrewshire Villages Safe Walking Initiative storymap, Renfrewshire Council VSWI webpage, Bishopton survey, Bridge of Weir survey, Elderslie survey and Lochwinnoch survey.

Website links: South Lanarkshire View article and LDP3 webpage (including survey link).
Deadline: 30 September 2024.

Section 2: Consultation Feedback

2.1: Govan – (Yorkhill) Partick bridge opening

Council: Glasgow.
Subject: The official opening of the bridge will be on Friday 6 September. This might be for invitees only but it’s meant to be open to the public on Saturday 7 Sept. Since it’s a swing bridge, that should mean the deck is closed so people can actually cross it. Either way, it will be a major new pedestrian/cycle link between Govan and the West End. It will allow people to cycle directly to/from the middle of Govan Road, avoiding Pacific Drive/Prince’s Quay. Also, the northern path from the bridge by the Riverside Museum goes to the (slightly hidden) underpass to Ferry Rd, where new protected cycleways lead towards Byres Road.

2.2: Irvine building openings

Council: North Ayrshire.
Subject: Two openings in Irvine that could shape the next generation of active travellers. The former is Marress House, an office block converted into an early years centre. It’s next to the council HQ, by a dual carriageway, and opening a year late (but at least has some secure bike parking). The latter is Montgomerie Park Primary School, in a recent estate with decent existing (shared) paths (despite being close to A736 Long Drive). Just to show, sometimes things do follow good practice…

Section 3: Proposed Traffic Regulation Orders

3.1: East Dunbartonshire TROs

Subject: A807 Auchenhowie Road – 30mph speed limit/Redetermination of pavement. Two TROs to prepare for the A807 Active Travel Corridor route between Milngavie and Torrance. One extends the 30mph zone towards Milngavie, the other makes the existing northern pavement into a shared path. It seems to be set back at side roads but we’ll try to find out more about priority and infra plans.
Website links: East Dunbartonshire TROs.

There are a few additions in this issue as we come out of holiday time. However, a recent GoBike meeting raised wider questions about the Digest (and GoBike itself).

For a while during the pandemic, updates from the Digest (and, when allowed, monthly rides) were the only parts of GoBike still going. However, the form the Digest takes needs to work for growing GoBike’s membership/reaching a new audience (especially online).

Feedback at the meeting cast doubt over the role of the Digest. Partly as some people didn’t seem to read it (thinking it was monthly or a general newsletter). But also the opinion that it needed more emphasis on which consultations were the important ones to respond to. That’s a fair comment that this issue tries to address.

Other ideas from the meeting suggested an appetite for more updates about the (many) infrastructure works going on in and around Glasgow. (I’ve dipped a toe in the water on that with a recent tweet about progress on Pitt St/Holland St.) Other points included news about events (like the Aye Cycle Network event on 20 August) and there was a kind offer of an update about the latest research on cycling/active travel. That seems to point towards a broader newsletter, rather than the Digest’s narrower focus on consultations.

Other online newsletters like #BikeIsBest or edi.bike seem like a possible template to follow? (Although this graphic designer probably would prefer a few more visuals!) While the meeting spent some time talking about social media, I know many members don’t use it or apps, smartphones, etc. and email is still probably the most democratic way to reach people.

However, I have to be honest that I don’t think I could commit to a weekly update (I’m not sure how long I can keep doing a fortnightly one!). Would a more general, monthly newsletter work better (with ad hoc posts to cover any shorter term consultations)? Would you be willing to help contribute (even just sending in local news/photos of recent works in your area, for example)?

Please send your thoughts about the above to: consultations@gobike.org.

Section 2: Consultation Feedback

None we’re aware of this time.

Section 3: Proposed Traffic Regulation Orders

3.1: Glasgow City TROs and Traffic Calming

Subject: GCC emailed to say they’d ‘made’ (enacted) the TRO for North Hanover St/Kyle St. This probably means the works for the N Hanover St Avenue will start shortly (once Byres Rd Phase 1 is complete?).
Website links: GCC Proposed Traffic Regulation Orders and GCC Proposed Traffic Calming Schemes.

3.2: North Lanarkshire TROs

Subject: TRO to add a Puffin crossing on Drumcavel Road (A752) at the eastern edge of Muirhead. The reason for the location seems to be the existing bus stop on the north side of the road and new housing being built south of Drumcavel Rd.
Website links: Drumcavel Road, Muirhead – Puffin Crossing webpage and Drumcavel Road TRO plan (PDF).

Paris is in the spotlight for sport but maybe also the rapid transformation of the cities’ streets under mayor Anne Hidalgo. Glasgow sees some progress of its own – the South City Way officially open to Trongate and Byres Rd phase 1 nearing completion. The city council’s survey on behaviour campaigns closes soon.

Renfrewshire have their own milestone with the upgraded route from Erskine to Glasgow Airport. Will SPT’s Regional Active Travel Strategy bring big changes for cycling in towns like Motherwell, pictured (see 2.1)? Elsewhere, there are consultations relating to Local Development Plans in East Ayrshire; both North and South Lanarkshire; and West Dunbartonshire. Also, a few Traffic Orders…

Section 1: Current Consultations
(in date order for responses)

1.1: Sustainable Transport Behaviour Change Campaigns 23/24

Council: Glasgow City.
Subject: Survey to help the evaluate two campaigns: ‘Let’s Look Out for Each Other’ and ‘Don’t be a Bus Blocker’. The former is similar to previous ‘share with care’ campaigns in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic (although it comes after Highway Code changes in 2022). The video shows idealised, polite reactions on road/lane/pavement (including what appears to be the South West City Way extension on St Andrews Drive). The latter is a poster/bus ad campaign specifically about cars/vans parking at bus stops. While these might not win any awards they do address issues with road use and car parking that don’t get much attention. So, it may be worth supporting the principle behind the campaigns even if we have criticisms of the actual ads themselves.
Website links: Sustainable Transport Behaviour Change Campaigns survey.
Deadline: 28 July 2024.

1.2: Loudoun Castle and Estate Draft Supplementary Guidance

Council: East Ayrshire.
Subject: The estate around the derelict Loudoun Castle, between Galston and Newmilns (by the A71). The main focus is development on the estate but the guidance does mention active travel (once!): “Proposals should utilise and expand on existing public transport and active travel networks…” The plans are a wider part of EAC’s Local Development Plan 2. A message from EAC says there’s an online survey (but doesn’t seem to provide a link). You can email them at localdevelopmentplans@east-ayrshire.gov.uk.
Website links: Loudoun Castle and Estate Draft Supplementary Guidance (PDF).
Deadline: 16 August 2024.

1.3: North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2 – Topic Paper Consultation (Batch 3)

Council: North Lanarkshire.
Subject: Supplementary guidance topic papers for NL LDP2. Batch 3 consultation includes:
– Policy 3 Biodiversity, Policy 4 Natural Places & Policy 20 Blue and Green Infrastructure.
– Policy 22 Flood Risk and Water Management.
– Policy 30 Tourism.
The papers quote sources of evidence (national guidance/bodies) and summarise the current situation in North Lanarkshire for various headings. They then decide if these topics will have any “locally specific policy” or be dealt with according to National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4). Spoiler alert – only tourism might get local guidance in LDP2. There’s an online survey to fill in (which wants a name and contact). Batch 4 is due to include topic papers on Sustainable Transport; Local Living and 20 Minute Neighbourhoods; and Infrastructure First.
Featured: Digest 158, 1.6 (Batch 1 – we seem to have missed Batch 2, apologies).

1.6: South Lanarkshire – Local Development Plan 3 (LDP3)

Council: South Lanarkshire.
Subject: Plan to “set out how our places will look in the future including where new homes and workplaces could be built and the areas that will be protected. There will be a strong emphasis on improving the quality of places as well as addressing the challenges of climate change and the protection and enhancement of biodiversity.”
Website links: South Lanarkshire View article and LDP3 webpage (including survey link).
Deadline: 30 September 2024.

Section 2: Consultation Feedback

2.1: Motherwell town centre – paths and crossings improvements

Council: North Lanarkshire.
Subject: West Hamilton Street (A721), Motherwell. A busy street with shopping centre/loading bays on one side and Lidl/housing on the other. Pavements vary from wide to narrow to non-existent. Works are due to start this week to improve pedestrian crossings, pavements and bus stop laybys. Apparently “widening sections of the existing paths to enable shared use for walking, wheeling and cycling and widening the pedestrian and cyclist crossings, including the roundabout island at Hamilton Road.” There’s no further detail but it may be similar to other works by NLC further north on Muir St and elsewhere in Wishaw and Airdrie. The space could be used for cycletracks but NLC all but ruled out on-road infrastructure in their Active Travel Strategy (apparently this comes from the top).

Section 3: Proposed Traffic Regulation Orders

3.1: East Dunbartonshire TROs

Subject: On 1 July, EDC ‘made’ (implemented) a TRO which increased charges at car parks in Bearsden, Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch and Milngavie.
Website links: East Dunbartonshire TROs.

3.2: North Lanarkshire TROs

Subject: TRO to add a Puffin crossing on Drumcavel Road (A752) at the eastern edge of Muirhead. The reason for the location seems to be the existing bus stop on the north side of the road and new housing being built south of Drumcavel Rd.
Website links: Drumcavel Road, Muirhead – Puffin Crossing webpage and Drumcavel Road TRO plan (PDF).

We will see progress on the Paisley-Renfrew path, and use the new cycle facilities in the Glasgow Airport and Inchinnan areas, then take a tour around the Dargavel area. After that, we will head for the Erskine Bridge and cross to the north side of the River Clyde. Return to Glasgow will be via Clydebank where we may stop for lunch.

30 miles, with one short section on a main road.

We will meet at 10am at the north end of Bell’s Bridge at the SEC, Congress Road, Glasgow.

For more information on GoBike rides, see: https://www.gobike.org/about-us/cycle-rides

35 miles, largely on the flat, and at one point we will cross a footbridge with steps – so don’t bring your heavy bike, if you have a choice!
Meet 10am Bell’s Bridge, Congress Road, Glasgow.
Note that there will be a number of road closures in Glasgow due to a sports event happening the same day as this ride. Although our route is unaffected, access to our starting point from the West End and City Centre may be affected. See Get Ready Glasgow for their route.

See here for further details of GoBike cycle rides

PS: apologies for the couple of omissions from my first attempt yesterday.
