The South City Way cycleway now complete on Victoria Bridge.

The South City Way cycleway finally complete past the Sheriff Court. However, the contraflow bus lane signs along this section are now out of date and need replaced.

A connection from the South City Way cycleway to Cleland Street. But parking in the contraflow cycle lane is still a problem.

Bedford Lane has been closed to motor vehicles, so the cycleway runs uninterrupted past the junction.

South City Way open along Gorbals Street. Works at Norfolk Court have closed it there.

The completed South West City Way cycleway on St Andrews Drive.

New bridge over stream in Pollok Country Park.

The Garscube Road cycleway approaching its end at Firhill Road. Across the road, motor vehicle parking has been formalised outside the shops and businesses.

Glasgow's newest cycle path - a gentler version of San Francisco's Lombard Street. But where am I? https://t.co/yTk1vweJZ6 Location not known exactly yet! Too new to be found on Google Lens: … [more]

Newly surfaced links to the canal towpath at Cadder.

Newly surfaced links to the canal towpath at Cadder.

View from the (not quite open yet) cycle path this morning. Queen's Park to Glasgow city centre route almost complete from the looks of things. Markings & street trees being added now all the way up to the river. #SouthCityWay … [more]

Park Drive stopped up to motor traffic at Woodlands Road, but cycle access maintained.

And hit some Friday rush hour traffic on the South City Way!!! 😁 @SouthSeeds @SCWFriends https://t.co/o5v1fCyVW7

A wide bridge across the M80 motorway and railway for walking and, presumably, cycling.

The Garscube Road cycle track is now open for business! Although the elephants feet crossing indicates to cross to Hinshaw Street, there are no turning restrictions, so it is possible to also continue along Garscube Road or head up Firhill … [more]

The Garscube Road cycle track is now open for business!

A diagonal road filter retro-fitted with full cycle access.

A diagonal road filter, with full access for cycling. But no dropped kerbs for pedestrians to cross by.

The resurfaced section of the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath will tie into the work at Stockingfield Junction, where a bridge is being built across the canal.

A section of Forth & Clyde Canal towpath has been resurfaced, between Cadder and Stockingfield.

The connection from Calder Street into the South City Way on Victoria Road. See also #167147.

The South City Way cycle track on Victoria Road.

The contraflow cycle track on Torrisdale Street, here being used in the with-flow direction.

A cycle link to Kelvinside Avenue from the road at the side of Maryhill Fire Station, and beside it, a footpath to Oban Drive. Another path leaves this to the left, just before the hill, and connects to Kelvinside Drive.

Cut-through between Kelvinside Avenue and the road at the side of Maryhill Fire Station.

The new bridge across the canal at the Claypits Local Nature Reserve is now open.

Protected contraflow cycle track next to marked loading bay on Burleigh Street.

Kelvin Way looking south towards Radnor Street. Planters have been used to separate motor traffic going to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery car park from cycle traffic going both ways along Kelvin Way.

Although most of Kelvin Way remains shut to motor traffic, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery car park access has reopened. Planters have been used to ensure drivers take the turn into the car park, while allowing cycle access on the other half of … [more]

The cycleway at Charing Cross.

NCN75 busy at Glasgow Green.

This is more like it! 😊 shame it starts as randomly as it stops - how about more of this @GlasgowCC and some permanent barriers? Encourage healthy transport! 😁🚴‍♀️ https://t.co/4J5XNGvche

Building a path that people can care about.

Cycle access at Barfillan Drive.

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.

The rebuilt Polmadie Bridge is now open. See also #102058.

The rebuilt Polmadie Bridge is now open. See also #102059.

The space-wasting hatching on Dyke Road has been removed and a cycleway installed instead.

The Bredisholm Road connection to the housing estate is build to a high quality, and is lit, although the path alongside the motorway is only lit by spill from the motorway lighting.

People are already (unofficially) using the southbound cycleway, before merging back into the roadway. #SouthCityWay https://t.co/K9QjAyXTDz

A new approach path to the M8 motorway underpass at the end of Craigton Road, arranged to dissuade obstructive parking, although this doesn't always work (see #102730).

Now that the excellent new ramp next to Victoria Bridge has been built, the gates that so often blocked the former route of NCN75 (see #31366) seem to be left open much of the time.

Progress on the South City Way protected cycle lane.

The South City Way already getting used, albeit in the wrong direction!

Reinstated access (possibly temporary) between the Springburn Expressway footbridge and Pinkston Drive, during the Sighthill redevelopment. Old and new buildings can be seen to the left. UPDATE 2020: The path is now shut - see #112923.

Fabulous to see the progress with Glasgow's South City Way on my commute. Well rolled surface, low chamfered kerb = good pedal clearance to maximise width, generous angles and, of course, it will be uni-directional. #stepchange in street … [more]

Pedal on Parliament feeder ride on Shields Road

Plenty of tyre tracks in the frost, and the lamppost (previously in the middle of the path as seen in #86772) has been relocated to the edge.

Stud lighting on the path into Richmond Park.

A raised crossing leading into Richmond Park.

The far end of Oatlands Square features a raised crossing, much neater than at the entrance.

Oatlands Square, with a sculpture and seating off to the side, leaving the path unobstructed.

FAO @Darkerside @GoBikeGlasgow @isersmalone New Balvicar St cycle gate. https://t.co/hsgCQah4xm [A site where car parking regularly blocked the cycle track entrance before e.g. #93805.]

This kind of (relatively) cheap and quick infrastructure would help so much in so many places... more please #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/dcsPJRxYNB

I do like the finished Bridge to Nowhere... #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/6Csts2i7sg

New floating bus stop on Pollokshaws Road in use… more please. #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/9LWDK0nH0R

#GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 when you are on an okay route ✅ ( albeit narrow ?)sculpture ✅ then closure and diversion ❌ https://t.co/tj6cLxEY75

Clyde Pl cycle lane - possibly highest quality one in Glasgow? #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/AI4UvoOXeA

I do like segregated paths where they occur. This one at Tradeston is a bit wiggly but still better than traffic. #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/cKgtvFcSpv

Not perfect but I like it a lot. If only it joined up with lots more. #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 #hometime https://t.co/sqDFA406q0

This bit on London Rd is good, tho traffic lights are oddly synched. If you follow route to Saltmarket, it vanishes. #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/MG2uePiEU2

Shared cycle/walking path from Transport Museum is generally good to use, even with puddles! #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/sCKhbmu0Qq

Good. More please? #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/OBuZtvMYaM

Nice job! Makes cycling along the Clyde so much nicer @GlasgowCC @SustransScot #NCN75 https://t.co/pSQNMVmIkn

No break in the cycle lane for this minor side road. I'm not sure that this 'Road Narrows' sign is still needed, since the rest of the road has been narrowed to match the section ahead, and in what is now a 30mph zone having two seems … [more]

I don't know why Glasgow hasn't provided angled kerbs on the divider strip as it has elsewhere.

These two wouldn't be on the road if it weren't for the protected cycle lanes. But see #90599.

A new surfaced path has replaced the previous boggy access to the Kelvin Walkway from Bantaskin St, seen in #58918.

A bus stop bypass on Paisley Road cycletrack.

The path past the Rowing Club is now surfaced, with LED catseye lights.

New path connecting Dalmarnock to the new bridge across the River Clyde to the new Cuningar Loop park.

New straight and lit cyclepath replacing steps outside the Sheriff Court. The old path next to the river has been retained for pedestrians.

It's cold, so jeans and hoodie for cycling journey. The fixings for the bollard nearest the camera appear to be loose.
