I don't remember seeing many cyclists in the ten years that I was in Glasgow and certainly very few in town. I would have cycled to work myself but was too feart to use the cycle track between Yoker and Clydebank at stupid o'clock at night in case I got mugged/chibbed/my bike stolen.
I tend to cycle along Dumbarton Road when it is at night, although I did cycle along the Cycle track there one night at high speed as I couldn't be arsed going up onto the road. 'Twas fine, and that was a Saturday night too!
on the shoot public transport instead.
The buses are still bad - I got one the other week there that seemed to have nonexistent suspension (does ANY bus have it?), it was filthy, there were things hanging off the windows where adverts had obviously originally been, it was PACKED and there was a newspaper stuck in the door mechanism. On top of that, unlike the trains, the timetable seems to be a work of
COMPLETE fiction and there are no screens telling you when the next one is due, so you could be stood there for 5 minutes or 50 minutes, and when you DO get on a bus, the journey takes about 3 times longer than anything else, (including walking)...... AND you can't even take your bike on! (In fact, the only good bit about my last bus journey was that there was a young woman with a really cute arse standing near me
).
Thoroughly vile, wretched things buses
