Overview

Join me on a journey through Glasgow's historic and folkloric past to its vibrant and modern present. A city of stunning architecture, rich varied culture and a birthplace of Scottish ideas. 



By using bicycles we can start in the city centre and ride to the farther reaches of Scotlands largest city. Utilising its excellent network of bike lanes and quiet roads we can travel through gorgeous green spaces, stunning vistas, architectural wonders and, indeed, time itself.

Starting in the heart of the city we will travel a 12 mile/20km loop visiting a myriad of interesting locations. We will visit well known highlights of the city as well as lesser known points of incredible interest and gain a deeper understanding of what makes Glasgow the wonderful and eclectic place it is today.

We will discuss ancient folklore, local heroes, triumphs, tragedies, art, sport, invention and science. Getting to know each other as well as the city and country that surrounds us.
