At last a quality cycle path. I used the Kelvin cycleway yesterday for the first time since it was
resurfaced and the new bridge was opened at the botanic gardens. From Dawsholme road to the new
bridge is some 2 or 3 kilometres. The new surface is about 10 feet wide and is smooth tarmac with
a better surface than any of the roads in the area. It follows a riverside route away from
roads.Other than one road crossing where barriers slow you to near walking speed (but do not force
a dismount)there is no obstructions and no blind corners. The alternative roads route would mean 5
or 6 sets of lights depending on destination so the cycleway may actually be faster - depending of
course on the number of loose dogs and pedestrians on the route. The older section of this route
further into the city past kelvingrove park reverts to the green paint on narrow shared pavement
syndrome but all credit to the council and any other organisations involved in the new section.

Another good product from Glasgow Council's cycle team.
