| Comment | Well, some pavements across Glasgow are official shared-use paths. Quite a lot actually, and the signage is often really poor, so pedestrians often don't realise cyclists are "meant" to be riding on the path with them.
But to be fair beyond this lots of cyclists do use pavements. I honestly don't blame anyone for doing it. Unless you're a hyper confident road cyclist, the roads absolutely do not feel like a safe place to be on a bike in Glasgow.
It's not realistic to expect casual/non-experienced cyclists to use the roads in their current state. The way to solve this is to build way more segregated cycle lanes to let bikes get from A to B without being hassled by cars/buses/articulated trucks, and without hassling pedestrians in turn. |
