Comment | This route is a very good suggestion. Just two comments on cycling along Sauchiehall Street from somebody who did that every working day until the pandemic hit:
\- In the section of Sauchiehall Street where cars are driving and there is a designated bicycle path: The bicycle path is interrupted every time a road joins from Garnetthill. That means you have to give way to the cars. I contacted the council, asking about the ruling, and they confirmed this to me. If you want to be fast, the solution is to use the road instead - be prepared for some cars to overtake you dangerously close and yelling abuse at you.
\- In the pedestrian section: It has no-vehicular-traffic sign (white with red circle) at the beginning, which made me think that I had to push my bike when I moved here, so I avoided it. Interestingly, it is a so-called core-path though, allowing to use it by bike. Obviously, it's shared with pedestrians and pre-pandemic that often meant cycling very slowly or pushing at rush hour. People will still yell at you, but given the misleading signs I can't blame them too much.
