| 109876 |  | They've finally removed one of the worst barriers on the NCN into Ross Hall Park. Could barely get a regular bike through it let alone in anything slightly bigger before. #spaceforcycling #accessibility t.co/4RsK7C80uN [See #93815 for the old barrier.] | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |
| 109715 |  | Truck parked directly over the cycle path and pedestrian area rather than the directly adjacent parking bay. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |
| 109671 |  | Was I imaging in #107165 that this path was being upgraded? | Track: Problem track |
| 109670 |  | A flooded pothole on the path away from the Donald Dewar Sports Centre in Drumchapel. | Pothole: Problem potholes |
| 109669 |  | Cycle parking at Farmfoods in Drumchapel. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 109668 |  | A couple of cycle stands at Drumchapel swimming pool. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 109667 |  | When Drumry Road East was first closed off at the Great Western Road roundabout, the traffic order exempted cycles from the closure. But nothing was done to facilitate cycle access, and even now that there is a shared-use footway on the other side of the A82, there is still no link. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 109515 |  | @GoBikeGlasgow @AnnaLangside @GlasgowCC @SPTcorporate @GlasgowSubway @collin_little @GlasgowEcoTrust no idea what's happening under bridge at West St by SW City Way - some sort of stage getting set up - no diversion signs, narrow pavements and no one to speak to! Be careful. t.co/quaxskjJTr | Temporary closure: Event closure |
| 109347 |  | After huge @GlasgowCC investment in active travel and purpose built cycle path on Sauchiehall Street, its now being used by @Treatzdessert as A-board site 😔 Right in the middle of cycle path! It's ok to advertise, but be a lil more considerate 👍 @SustransScot t.co/VSygAvJHZg | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 109346 |  | Motorists t.co/RlUC4vkbkj | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 109214 |  | Zigzag ramp from Penicuik Drive down to Myreside Drive. Another useful path added to new estate. Also, helps avoid Shettleston Road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 109213 |  | Shared path to Rigby Gardens, part of traffic-free route through new housing. Could do with more drop kerbs but paths are useful to avoid Shettleston Road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 109212 |  | Barriers too close and no drop kerb. Worn grass shows desire line. A bit of a shame but ramp is still useful to link Rigby Street to Rigby Crescent and avoid traffic on Shettleston Road. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 109199 |  | The (summer only) free Govan Ferry makes its way across the River Clyde to the Water Row pontoon. It can carry bikes, and details can be found at www.getintogovan.com/visit/ | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 109198 |  | Waiting for the (summer only) free Govan Ferry across the River Clyde to the Riverside Museum. Details can be found at www.getintogovan.com/visit/ | Destination: Infrastructure destinations |
| 109197 |  | The full length of the Pearce Lane cycle track. For some strange reason, the dropped kerb at Water Row does not extend to the full width of the cycle track. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 109196 |  | Next Bike hire bikes at the Govan docking station at Water Row. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 109195 |  | A protected cycle lane along Pearce Lane, between Pearce Street and Water Row. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 109194 |  | The end of the Burleigh Street contraflow cycle track currently under construction. The route to Water Row is via Pearce Street. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 109193 |  | Roadworks in Burleigh Street to create a contraflow cycle track and repave the footways. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 109192 |  | Access from Drumoyne Road industrial estate to the path to Meiklewood Road. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 109118 |  | The cycle parking at Cardonald station has been positioned so close to the walls the end stand is basically unusable, while the others won't support the bikes very well when only one end of the bike is on the stand. But I'm not sure I'd leave my bike here all day in any case. Stands on the platform may be a better idea, security wise. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 109105 |  | Faded route signs pointing in random directions. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 109103 |  | Thank you Glasgow City Council for building new cycle lanes on Victoria Road. Is there anyway you could stop vehicles using them as parking spaces? @GlasgowCC @Chris_Boardman @chrishoy @policescotland t.co/RBjTJ77OXk | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 109074 |  | This is a housing apartment, and has a private car park, but no cycle park. I have seen many people keep their cycles inside the flat, including me. It is stressful to bring cycle up and down the flat from different floors, and if there was an easier access to use the cycle from the car park, there would be more incentive to do so. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 108807 |  | @RantyHighwayman @peterwalker99 Though this is good design, but it’s in back street of Govan, Glasgow... almost as cyclists don’t ever shop or stop for coffee! t.co/qzxO60mslu | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108795 |  | @helenpidd Howard Street in central Glasgow. A bike lane that goes against the flow of traffic. But it’s just a car park lane and taxi drop off. Yesterday there was more car than bike lane visible... If you ride it you’re forced into the path of oncoming buses. It’s on our city maps. Crap. t.co/LV9hGDefSI | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 108750 |  | Can “security” vans stop where ever they like? This guy claims he can, while doing so he is blocking access to Gordon St counter-way cycle lane. @GlasgowCC @polscotrpu ?? t.co/EcNWYhbFIf | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 108724 |  | @GoBikeGlasgow University Avenue this week : a @GlasgowCC cycle route @UofGlasgow what about the #vulnerableroaduser t.co/LdiKcc19HS | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 108648 |  | The Kelvin Walkway diversion via Contin Place. Still no dropped kerb at the start of the path to Wyndford Drive. | Route sign: Event routesigns |
| 108647 |  | Diversion signed with blue (permanent) rather than yellow NCN stickers. And still no dropped kerb at the start of the path to Contin Place. | Route sign: Event routesigns |
| 108635 |  | @cyclestreets Spean St, Glasgow - the pedestrian/cycle path is effectively just a residents' car park. @SustransScot @citycyclists @GoBikeGlasgow @LStreetsScot and while I am here > @StewartMcDonald @glasgowc @MMorganSNP @policescotland t.co/xw2HqMXXCM | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 108230 |  | Glasgow City Council is planning some work to fix this retaining wall on the Kelvin Walkway. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108229 |  | Excellent signage at the Scottish Water work on the Kelvin Walkway Garriochmill Road access, where a short path has been laid to divert around the worksite. | Roadworks: Good practice roadworks |
| 108228 |  | Excellent signage at the Scottish Water work on the Garriochmill Road access to the Kelvin Walkway. A short path has been laid around the back of the work compound to maintain pedestrian and cycle access. | Roadworks: Good practice roadworks |
| 108227 |  | This fencing has been obstructing the access to the Sighthill motorway foot and cycle bridge for some time, even though the bridge is for now still open. The fencing appears to be being used to create nothing more than a contractor's parking compound. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 108226 |  | A fairly new cycle link on Hopehill Road, including some new green space created by shortening the former carriageway on this side of the closure. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 108225 |  | Obstructive car and van parking on Striven Gardens. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 108224 |  | I thought I could get through on the left at Striven Gardens, but see #108225. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 108223 |  | An improvement at last at Doune Quadrant and Doune Gardens. Not perfect, but at least usable on a standard bike. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 108161 |  | @theenvtaskforce @TrothBen @aglasgowcyclist @jrothwell @CityWestminster @GlasgowCC @CycleInfraDay @GoBikeGlasgow @AnnaLangside @ChristyMearns @johned @magnatom Still the same t.co/gMBW79b7e7 | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 108112 |  | Hey @networkrail I know you guys think you are special and can park anywhere, but you cant. This is a segregated bike lane that your vehicle is parked in, the SCW, Pollokshaws Road, one of the few in Glasgow. Get it moved. @GlasgowCC @AnnaLangside t.co/uLirANIqRE | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 107281 |  | Obstructive pavement parking on the shared-use footway on Dalsholm Road between the Garscube Estate path and the Kelvin Walkway, forcing riders onto the crumbling carriageway. There is a free car park at the top of the hill in the background. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 107267 |  | A gate across Monymusk Place, on the Drumchapel Way and Garscadden Way. The Garscadden Wood path starts on the right a short distance beyond the gate. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 107266 |  | Signage for an on-road section of the Garscadden Way on Lillyburn Place. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107265 |  | Signage for the Drumchapel Way, and above it, what appears to be the last remaining directional signage for the Garscadden Way. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107264 |  | The Cleddans Burn path, part of the Garscadden Way and Drumchapel Way, approaches Achamore Road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107263 |  | A scenic section of the Drumchapel Way and Garscadden Way, on the Cleddans Burn path. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107262 |  | An information board for the Cleddans Burn path, part of the Garscadden Way and Drumchapel Way. | Route sign: Good practice routesigns |
| 107261 |  | A poor quality surface at the start of the Cleddans Burn path, part of the Garscadden Way cycle route and Drumchapel Way walking route. The footway on the Goals access road swaps from the north to the south side at this point. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107260 |  | A poor end to the footway from The Antonine Road at the Goals access road, part of the Drumchapel Way signed walking route. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 107259 |  | The Drumchapel Way on The Antonine Road. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107258 |  | The Drumchapel Way meets The Antonine Road. Glasgow City Council's GIS system shows a path (called Drumry Wood) across the site across the road, even though it is securely fenced off. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107257 |  | The Drumchapel Way leaves Halgreen Avenue and takes the steps up to The Antonine Road. There is a bypass ramp, but no dropped kerb at the end for anyone following the route by bike. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107256 |  | Signage for the Drumchapel Way on Halgreen Avenue. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107255 |  | A poor quality shared-use footway on Halgreen Avenue. The other side of the road doesn't even have a footway, even though it is outside a school! | Road environment: Problem road |
| 107254 |  | There were no signs for the Drumchapel Way at the junctions at either end of Hecla Avenue, only this one midway along the street. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 107253 |  | Cycle parking outside the shops on Kinfauns Drive, although access is restricted from the road by railings. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 107252 |  | Kinfauns Drive outside the Drumchapel Shopping Centre and Health Centre. Bike parking both sides but access restricted by extensive use of guard railings. The Drumchapel Way crosses the road here and the signs can just be seen. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 107209 |  | Cycle parking at Milton Library and leisure centre, all up against a kerb. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 107173 |  | Some steps on the Drumchapel Way, with a by-pass ramp, approaching Kinfauns Drive. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 107172 |  | The Drumchapel Way marker post and information board for those coming from Kinfauns Drive. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107171 |  | Poor condition asphalt path and damaged marker post on the Drumchapel Way. | Track: Problem track |
| 107170 |  | Next the Drumchapel Way goes up some shallow steps as it starts to head towards Kinfauns Drive. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107169 |  | The Drumchapel Way continues down some very shallow steps to a bridge across the Garscadden Burn. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107168 |  | A close-up of the marker post that is not for the Drumchapel Way (from #107167). Leg-it around Drumchapel. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107167 |  | Three marker posts, but only two are for the Drumchapel Way, so turn right. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107166 |  | The Drumchapel Way continues. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 107165 |  | The optimist in me wants to believe that this section of the Drumchapel Way path is currently being upgraded. | Track: Problem track |
| 107164 |  | Navigation on the off-road sections of the Drumchapel Way is by marker post. Here the posts indicate a turn to the right. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107163 |  | Information about Garscadden Burn Park and the Drumchapel Way. | Destination: Infrastructure destinations |
| 107162 |  | The Drumchapel Way leaves Southdeen Avenue and doubles back into the Garscadden Burn Park. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 107161 |  | On-road sections of the Drumchapel Way are indicated by small circular signs attached to lampposts. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107160 |  | The Drumchapel Way turns left to join with the Garscadden Way. The Drumchapel Way is a walking route around Drumchapel and the surrounding woodland described at https://forestryandland.gov.scot/images/pdf/rec_pdfs/DrumchapelWoodsLeaflet.pdf | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107159 |  | The winter has taken its toll on the Garscadden Way. This is listed as an official cycle route in the council's GIS system at glasgowgis.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 107158 |  | The path across to the Garscadden Way blocked by fallen branches, but will anyone notice there's a path to be blocked? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 107122 |  | Genuine question @GlasgowCC : wait for what? @GoBikeGlasgow Clyde Place under the rail bridge. Signs in both directions near entrance to land under bridge which has something going on. Should they actually say 'Caution: works access' or something? t.co/5b4mOBqtOv | General sign/notice: Event signs |
| 107117 |  | Commercial van parking in the painted cycle lane on Port Dundas Road. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 107053 |  | The end of the widened footway and transition onto an on-road painted cycle lane along Alderman Road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107052 |  | Probably the start of the cycleway alluded to in #107051. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107051 |  | Line segregation, apparently. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 107039 |  | 2/4 Others have discussed the left hook risk to cyclists at the Devon St junction @GoBikeGlasgow eg t.co/hsiql8duc7. Today I was nearly left-hooked by a council vehicle overtaking and turning in front of me into Torrisdale St. The driver was not apologetic. I was shaken. t.co/ROZ9Z6S7n4 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 107038 |  | I've never worked out if these strips are badly installed drainage (for the boggy grass to the right), or anti-cycling rumble strips. A swimming contest can be seen in the background. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107037 |  | There is an unmarked speed hump either side of the Cleveden Road bridge on the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath, which are quite hard to spot if you don't know they are there. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 107036 |  | A connection between Netherton Road and the Forth & Clyde Canal, with damaged sign, mud, and a chicane barrier. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 107035 |  | I'm sure a better entrance to this path could be built at Knightscliffe Avenue. The plot to the left was only recently rebuilt. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 107034 |  | The start of the Lincoln Avenue cycle track, seen from the opposite direction to #101264. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107033 |  | The Cycle Quietway through Knightswood links the Orca cycle routes on Dyke Road and Lincoln Avenue without going along Alderman Road. The entrance to the Lincoln Avenue cycle track is rather cluttered and the cycle track itself can barely be seen from this position. Yet you are expected to know where to turn. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107032 |  | Signage for the Cycle Quietway through Knightswood on Loanfoot Avenue, but it's shorter, quicker and on roads just as quiet to head to the Forth & Clyde Canal along Loanfoot Avenue in the opposite direction. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107031 |  | Signage for the Cycle Quietway through Knightswood at Riglaw Place, but it's shorter, quicker and also just as quiet to get to the Forth & Clyde Canal via Commore Drive to the left. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107030 |  | 'Recommended route for cyclists' signage for the old signed route between Kelso Street and Garscadden railway station. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107029 |  | A Cycle Quietway has been signed through Knightswood, but doesn't use the newly widened and converted shared-use footway on Dyke Road. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107028 |  | Signage for the Cycle Quietway through Knightswood, at the junction of Kirkton Avenue and Holehouse Drive, with another sign pointing to Garscadden railway station in the background. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107027 |  | A route sign for the Cycle Quietway through Knightswood on Kirkton Avenue. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107026 |  | A "Cycle Quietway" has been signed through Knightswood, crossing Alderman Road here at Commore Drive. Again the buffer strip between the car parking bay and the cycle lane does not allow sufficient space for a car to be parked between the kerb and the strip, making the strip utterly redundant. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107025 |  | The road markings on part of Alderman Road have been renewed, including a buffer strip between the parking bays and the cycle lane, but there's really no point in painting it less than the width of a car away from the kerb. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 106908 |  | Absolutely perfect timing. @GoBikeGlasgow @UofGsustain @PeopleByresRoad #paintIsNotProtection t.co/LENi1rbIkA | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 106907 |  | Painted cycle lanes don’t work, especially if the council just keeps turning a blind eye to those who abuse it. I tried to speak to the guy in the car and ask why he thought it was okay for him to park there, no response. @GoBikeGlasgow @GlasgowCC t.co/VXJLhkPMko | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 106558 |  | People could make Glasgow tidier! | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 106309 |  | The abandoned bike still blocking part of the Maryhill Tesco cycle parking stand, leaving little space for intending customers. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
