The resurfacing of the path from the Forth & Clyde Canal to Netherton Road, down the side of the David Lloyd Club only lasts a few metres, but it at least eliminates the step between the existing asphalt and the rest of the path.
Details of the steps down from the Stockingfield Bridge. There is a wheeling ramp (with the usual problems they entail), but once the bridge is properly open, using the main ramp will be far more attractive for those cycling. See also … [more]
The zig-zag ramp and steps up from Kelvingrove into the new university campus extension are now open.
The zig-zag ramp and steps up from Kelvingrove into the new university campus extension are now open.
Cathkin Braes Country Park has mountain biking trails and ordinary paths. Here is the path between the car park and Castlemilk.
A second new bridge across the Garscadden Burn (out of view ahead down the hill) has been provided on this path from Belsyde Avenue to Southdeen Avenue, but this section of path has not been improved. The Drumchapel Way crosses from right … [more]
Woodland path between Ascot Avenue and Strathcona Drive, possible to get a bike along, but not very easy due to surface and gradient.
Newly rebuilt path associated with the Scottish Water works. The gravel surface on the path bypassing the children's playground is held in place with a plastic mesh.
Newly rebuilt paths associated with the Scottish Water works. The paths change from asphalt to gravel.
At the bottom of the stepped ramp in #175030, new path construction associated with the Scottish Water works.
The footbridge across Springburn Road connects the path parallel to Springburn Road to a car park at the end of Carbisdale Street, which is accessed from Hawthorn Street. The footbridge itself is step-free. Eastfield Park is also accessible … [more]
A general view of the path parallel to Springburn Road, and the ramps down from Lenzie Terrace. The footbridge across Springburn Road is also visible
The ramp from Lenzie Terrace (see #173029) comes down to this landing, but the next ramp directly towards the Springburn Road footbridge has a couple of steps in it. This could be rebuilt. However, another ramp behind the camera provides a … [more]
A ramp has been provided behind the bus stop, in addition to steps, to connect from Thornliebank Road up to Cartcraigs Road. (This does not form part of the cycle route, but could be used for connections to and from it.)
A flood prevention scheme has been implemented at Greenbank Park, and thus the entrances to the park have steps and ramps over the embankments that would contain any flooding.
From the playing fields car park, this track links to Guidmans Road and almost connects to the path network beyond.
While it is possible to cycle through from the allotments to the playing fields at Pollok Country Park, the path through the woods is unsurfaced and muddy in places, so won't become one of my regular routes through the park.
The footbridge connecting the two parts of Beech Avenue across the M8 motorway, and part of the original Glasgow to Paisley cycle route. The footbridge ramps have a single step at each side of the bridge.
A bridge over the railway line next to Cartcraigs Road. Network Rail has applied to demolish this bridge without replacement as part of the project to upgrade and electrify the railway through here. See … [more]
The path connecting Cogan Street and Shawbridge Street has been laid out for pedestrian use only, but provides a route to and from the retail park that avoids Nether Auldhouse Road, so would be useful for cycling too. Although there is a … [more]
Building work continues on the redevelopment of the Prospecthill Circus area, although I wasn't clear what the purpose of this fencing was. The path could do with upgrading, that may be still to come.
Having left Malls Mire nature reserve, the path meets another around the playing fields at Toryglen Road. Over to the right is the path from Prospecthill Circus that is currently being rebuilt.
A path in Malls Mire nature reservce, looking towards the council boundary. It is possible to get across into Rutherglen here, but there's a short section of steep path here.
Paths within Malls Mire are appropriate for a nature reserve. The steps link up to the path between Prospecthill Circus and Toryglen Road in Rutherglen (that is currently being rebuilt).
Pedestrian connection and crossing from Waterfoot Terrace to and across Brockburn Road, which could easily be improved to allow cycling, until such time as replacing the Barrhead Road/Peat Road roundabout comes about.
Gated path between Allander Street and Tannock Street. The path surface is whindust, with a liberal coating of glass.
A 'Cyclists Dismount' sign on the path alongside the Springburn Expressway, at a point where all approaches have steps, except for the route to Carleston Street over the bridge.
If you know where to look, there are now little asphalt ramps on each of the steps on the Charing Cross footbridge. But they could be widened and highlighted with paint. The dropped kerb is also obstructed by car parking. Combined with … [more]
The footbridge at the end of Dolphin Road has fairly steep ramps, but also has quite a bit of upstand on the kerbs on each side.
An old railway track alongside the A752 at Drumpellier Country Park, which would make a better route for the Seven Lochs Trail than the footway of the A752. It just needs a path to be built on the trackbed and across to a road crossing. … [more]
The junction of Fountainwell Road and St Rollox Drive, seen from the old footpath along the edge of Sighthill Cemetery. The start of the cycleway can be seen, and this is the only access. UPDATE 2021: The cycle path has now been extended, … [more]
This is the route pedestrians and wheelchair users are directed along from Drumchapel station (see #100504), a narrow path with a poor inclined surface. Would two wheelchair users be able to pass easily? The far end is shown at #100508.
The walkway alongside the River Clyde in Govan ends in a dead-end. This is the last junction to access the local road network.
Although there are items of cycling paraphernalia back at Carnoustie Street and at Houston Street, this crossing is not a toucan crossing on the path in between the two locations. The space on the central reservation is somewhat … [more]
Nothing to say whether cycling is allowed here or not, although this is where a chain of toucan crossings lead.
Filtered permeability not so good as #98670 when it comes to bus stop access, only leading to the nearest street, and lacking a dropped kerb on one side of the street!
Glasgow City Council has proposed stopping up this path leading to vacant land behind the houses, due to it being deemed "unneccessary". ROADS (SCOTLAND) ACT 1984 THE GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL RAASAY STREET (STOPPING UP) ORDER 2017 Statement … [more]
The position of the dropped kerb seems to be without any thought as to where people might want to cross.
The narrow path between the A89 and Bargeddie Parish Church gets wider for a bit, but much of the benefit is negated by the vegetation. However, it probably copes fine with the present level of use.
An old canal bridge on Castle Street, but there are steps on the other side so not useful for cycling.
The unsurfaced canal path from Bishopbriggs finally arrives at Lambhill Bridge. Much quicker (and cleaner) to use NCN754 across the other side of the canal, but what if you live in the area around Aultbea Street?
Baltic St provides a low-traffic route right across Dalmarnock, but only some of the transitions between path and road are any good, such as here at Connal St.
I'm not sure whether you are allowed to cycle on this or not, but it leads to some toucan crossings and the path to Sighthill, and now has a blue line along one side. Also, an interesting use for a crash barrier!
Access between the path beyond Lochburn Road and the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath. Behind the camera, rough paths continue through the woods towards Vaila St.
