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.
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]
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
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.
People are already (unofficially) using the southbound cycleway, before merging back into the roadway. #SouthCityWay https://t.co/K9QjAyXTDz
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.
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.
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).
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 de ... [more]
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.
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
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
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 pa ... [more]
A new surfaced path has replaced the previous boggy access to the Kelvin Walkway from Bantaskin St, seen in #58918.
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.
The George V Bridge crossing in the Clyde Place cycleway, where a parallel arrangement for pedestrians and cyclists has been used.
Working on better cycling access to the M8 underpass at Craigton Rd/Jura St #glasgowcycling https://t.co/iIvigzzCZd
Here's one of the better junctions, with direct diagonal cycle crossing. Lights not working yet. http://t.co/Va6YcUT1mz
Phew! Cycle track on Elderslie St has priority over new access road. Rare credit to @GlasgowCC (cc @GoBikeGlasgow) http://t.co/fvJvPPE1jI
A section of the path alongside the Clydeside Expressway has been resurfaced, replacing old broken paving slabs with asphalt.
The new Langlands Cycle Path features pieces of art incorporated in the surface next to the cycleway
Start of the Langlands Cycle Path, outside Elderpark Library, rebuilt from #36125. Note the infill tar put up against the badly-installed dropped kerb!
New Connect2 Anderston Bridge in Glasgow, over M8 motorway, connecting Waterloo St in the city centre, with Argyle St in the West End.
Priority for cycle track over garage entrance on Waterloo St Connect2 cycle track, shortly before launch. The triangle markings are interesting.
Flush LED catseye on part of NCN7 in Whiteinch. These have been installed between the current starting point of the railway path at Smith Street, and the Primrose Street off-ramp in Scotstoun.
Newly rebuilt path connecting Kelvingrove Park and Kelvinbridge, on NCN 756 Kelvin Cycleway, almost ready for opening. This replaces a narrow timber walkway on a difficult site, partly on a riverbank, and passes under a former railway bridg ... [more]
Newly rebuilt path linking Kelvingrove Park and Kelvinbridge, part of NCN 756 Kelvin Cycleway, at point where path goes from riverbank to under a former railway bridge. On the right is a former railway tunnel mouth, making this quite a tric ... [more]
Junction of NCN routes 754 and 756 on Forth & Clyde Canal at Kelvin Aqueduct. NCN 756 goes down ramp to Kelvin Walkway/Cycleway (see #36202). UPDATE: Replacement signs have been provided on the pole (see #57264).
Slip lane for cyclists leaving Balshagray Avenue going to Clyde Tunnel (cycles not allowed in main car tunnel), with plenty of tyre marks visible
Slip lane from Clydeside Expressway for cyclists going to Clyde Tunnel (cycles not permitted in main car tunnel)
Scotstoun to Jordanhill Nature Trail path passing under Danes Drive. This path runs along a former railway trackbed.
Access to the Scotstoun Leisure Centre is now available from the Jordanhill Nature Trail. The gate here used to be locked shut.
Bus stop treatment on new two-way cycleway on London Road, much better than #33497 further along the road. Magnatom has produced a video featuring this section of route: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-xu9f8l4sc
Road closure exempting cycles at foot of Dixon Street, and Toucan Crossing on Clyde Street, leading to NCN 75 on riverside. Useful link from St Enoch Square.
Traffic calming scheme that uses cycle lanes on dual carriageway to calm the traffic, and the markings have even been reinstated after resurfacing! Unfortunately, some motorists have not worked out what the cycle lanes are for.
Contraflow cycle lane on Argyle Street in Glasgow City Centre. Includes cycle traffic signals at junction with Union Street/Jamaica Street.
Right turn lane for cycles only at point on dual carriageway where motor vehicles cannot turn right. Connects Alderman Road cycle lanes to Colleges Cycle Route in Jordanhill.
