Strathclyde Cycle Campaign
To kick off our shorter winter season rides, we will head along to Glasgow Harbour, then head through Knightswood and Blairdardie to climb up to Drumchapel, though it doesn’t yet look like this!.
Here’s a list of consultations going on in Glasgow and around Strathclyde (and one we missed…).

Kidical Mass Glasgow is coming to the Southside on Saturday 13 September
Why you may ask? We don’t know about you, but we believe…
Every child should be able to cycle to school safely. Yet we lack adequate, well-connected cycling infrastructure to make this happen.
Every child deserves to breathe in clean air. Yet, 93% of Glasgow schools are in areas that violate WHO guidelines on safe air to breathe. Yikes!
Every child should be safe in our public spaces. Yet, do you feel comfortable letting your child or young person enjoy our public spaces independently?
We want to ensure our public spaces are designed to keep our kids safe, healthy and happy. Something that will benefit all of us, because safe streets for kids are safe streets for all.
Ambitious? Absolutely! But it will also be bright, bold, colourful and most importantly totally joyous. Because that’s exactly what our public spaces should be. Fun, safe, and welcoming spaces to be.

Seven of us cycled east from the SEC along the Clyde today before turning north onto London Road and then towards Baillieston and Bargeddie.
After a break for lunch in Drumpellier Park, we started our return journey but stopped in Cranhill to admire the model lighthouses and winged figures around the water tower.
Yes, we had some rain early on but we soon dried out and could sit outside at the Park Cafe to eat our lunch.
Next month’s ride will be on Sunday 05 October, when we go to Goldenhill Park!

This ride will take us out through the East End of Glasgow to Drumpellier Country Park. We will start off on the Clyde Walkway.
After Glasgow’s Gordon St consultation, here’s a list of consultations from outside the city. A few are closing over the weekend in North Ayrshire and Inverclyde.

Coming back after summer holidays, for some of us, may involve leaving Glasgow Central station onto Gordon St. The scene you’re met with can vary from ‘hustle and bustle’ to a full-on three ring circus of buses, taxis, bikes, people and luggage coming from all angles. There’s a lot of conflict on the block of Gordon St at the station entrance, so it’s ripe for reorganisation. However, the current ‘public realm’ proposals leave a lot to be desired, especially for cycling.
GoBike thinks the changes exclude cycling. We need your help to respond and spread the word about the Gordon St SmartSurvey (consultation deadline: Sunday 24 August). In this article we explain the issues…
