| Comment | I hear this all the time but it's a really stupid point that people seem to think is some sort of 'gotcha'?
Nobody is planning to build mass cycleways up steep hills like Gardner Street or up Montrose Street.
Glasgow does however have loads of relatively flat, wide arterial roads which connect neighbourhoods to the city centre and to one another. It's these relatively flat roads which the vast majority of cycle lanes are planned for over the next 10 years.
The fundamental difference between here and Amsterdam is the lack of infrastructure - infrastructure which makes it a piece of piss for anyone of any age to hop on a bike in Amsterdam and go where they like safely. |
