  • Yeh, the 20 parking spots on Uni Avenue really help the 26,635 students with getting to Uni. by up_hills (Mon 11th Feb 2019 10:58pm)
  • > Also most of the bad behavior I've seen between drivers and cyclists has been caused by cyclists acting entitled in busy traffic. I nearly got hit from behind in the middle of nowhere by a prick who thought the best course of action would be to rely on me swerving into the dirt verge on the A809 instead of braking when he saw cars coming over a blind lip, but yeah - I'm entitled. I've had numerous close calls in the middle of f-cking nowhere by incredibly impatient drivers (and one motorbike). Go shove your personal anecdotes. We need safe infrastructure and no amount of niceness will ever save as many lives. by up_hills (Mon 11th Feb 2019 11:06pm)
  • UberEats is good pocket money, you shouldn't rely on it as a main income. It's dead in the summer when all the students are away (Glasgow is #1 in the UK for proportion of students in a city above 500k population) and the system could automatically suspend you out of the blue, which could make you miss a really busy weekend. Other than that, it's just a standard retail job, but instead of just having to deal with rude customers you also have to deal with rude restaurant workers. by up_hills (Tue 12th Mar 2019 1:56am)
  • The A77 is nice when you get to the segregated part but until you do so, it's pretty much the slowest route out of the city due to the number of traffic lights you'll encounter. by up_hills (Wed 28th Aug 2019 1:41pm)
  • It depends on where you live exactly. If you live north of the river, going north is the fastest, the opposite if you live in the south. East and west are pointless because the city goes on for a while along the river. I haven't seen anyone suggest the A803 but it's legal to cycle on and way less scary than most roads if you only have to stick to the left lane. I've seen multiple people suggest the canal path from Maryhill to Torrance but after getting my 100th puncture from beer bottle glass on a ride in January I've stayed off it. Depending on the day you get a lot of walkers, pram pushers, joggers, dog walkers... it can be a hassle but if you're scared of the road it's mint. I'd suggest getting on it from Balmore road because the road surface before that is horrible BUT... I'd say hands down the absolute fastest way to get to the countryside is Balmore Road if you live anywhere close to it. Its last traffic light is only 3 miles from the city centre and from then on you can avoid traffic lights for your entire ride. Wake up early if you can, especially in the weekends everyone's hungover and won't drive before noon, that way every road is safe. Otherwise, I avoid the A809 like the plague (top 10 most dangerous road in the UK and had a near-death experience on it last year), B818 is dead quiet most days, Old Greenock Road is really quiet from Port Glasgow to the Erskine Bridge (which has nice segregated cycle paths), Old Largs Road is used as a rat run for the first quarter so wake up early, A811 is a no and so is the A82 past Balloch, A81 has a nice climb around Mugdock but it's very busy, Balmore road is OK if you put the hammer down because the motorists get pissy if you do less than 20mph. Almost forgot, there's Corselet road which is a very quiet little road that heads up to a couple reservoirs. Access to it is sketch but it's really nice. by up_hills (Wed 28th Aug 2019 2:08pm)

  • Glasgow Uni compsci student here. JP Morgan are a big presence, they do tons of internships and give us free stuff all the time. I would rather die than work for a bank though. by up_hills (Wed 18th Sep 2019 2:52pm)
  • Yeah a zero experience graduate working back end for some obscure banking tool is gonna make amends for the 2008 financial crash, the same one that made me an immigrant. That would be ironic. I plan to leave after I finish my degree. Go someplace with bike lanes, mountains, good weather and a stable currency. by up_hills (Thu 19th Sep 2019 12:44am)
  • Glasgow has one mound above 400m, the one next to Crow Road. Athens has three 1000m+ peaks in a ten mile radius. There's a 1500m peak within 10km of my grandma's village and a 2000m one within 20km. Crow Road is the biggest climb around and it's 6km with 270m of ascent. There's a climb that starts less than a kilometre from my grandma's place that's 22km long with a kilometre of ascent. """*mountains"""* by up_hills (Thu 19th Sep 2019 2:31am)
  • My granny's mountain doesn't have cement mixer trucks doing 50mph round blind bends. by up_hills (Thu 19th Sep 2019 6:14pm)
  • Yeah, a bit of the road is above 300m so I'm guessing that's the highest paved road in the Glasgow area. This is a bit like trying to find the tallest little person though. by up_hills (Thu 19th Sep 2019 6:12pm)
  • Yeah, Scotland does have some peaks, it's not that bad. But there's no roads going up to the top and they're not next to the city. What am I going to do, walk up the mountain on my feet like some kind of hobo? /s by up_hills (Thu 19th Sep 2019 6:16pm)
  • There's also a track between Kent Road, Dover Street and Elderslie Street in Finnieston. It's next to a school and it has goal posts so it's probably used by kids during the day but it's most likely empty after sundown. by up_hills (Thu 19th Sep 2019 6:27pm)
  • Associating with Tories is what by up_hills (Fri 27th Sep 2019 2:04pm)
  • Yo I just found out about the fire in Melrose Street. The name peaked my interest because I delivered to that flat *several times* in 2018 when I worked for UberEats. I remember having to pull out my phone for a light because there were no lights on the stairs. The roof was caved in with a massive gap, there was moonlight coming through, like something straight out of a videogame.

  • For some reason video by itself isn't good enough for evidence. IANAL but from what I've heard for some reason video itself isn't enough in Scottish courts; they bring in the person who owns the recording system to get grilled by the defendant's lawyer. I know magnatom (from twitter and youtube) has to go to court every time he reports a driver (he runs three cameras on his bike). by up_hills (Mon 7th Oct 2019 12:56am)
  • A while ago I saw a massive american style pickup truck turning right into Church Street beeping about a dozen pedestrians with a couple prams out of the way. "But I see pedestrians darting into traffic" shove it Clarence, you shouldn't have a license. Edit: Let me elaborate a bit more. You can't put full Belisha crossings on junctions, it's against safety guidelines. Vehicles turning right into sideroads have to give way to pedestrians waiting to cross, vehicles turning left into sideroads have to give way to pedestrians who have one foot on the asphalt. In practice, only cunts don't give way when turning left. by up_hills (Wed 16th Oct 2019 10:55am)

  • The left turn removal means one less stage for pedestrians to wait for, it's part of making the street more walkable. I hope they keep something for bikes though. by up_hills (Sun 3rd Nov 2019 10:58pm)

  • A single shared path on the side of the road is not the same thing as a protected bike lane. by up_hills (Wed 6th Nov 2019 12:17am)
  • I do. I used to work for UberEats. Byres road was a death trap. Even if there's no increase in cycling on Byres Rd. (which there will be), it's Byres fekin Road, there's a ton of cycling already. This isn't the road in the sticks that guy's talking about, this is a busy downtown shopping street that accommodates mainly pedestrians. The vast majority of cars on Byres road aren't there to shop, they're there to pass through. by up_hills (Wed 6th Nov 2019 12:15am)
  • Any of the roads around the Hydro car park, especially Finnieston St. going North, where there's no information that the left lane goes straight and the right goes onto the expressway until you round the corner at the last second. Also Morrison St. and Paterson St, where it's pitch black at night and I almost T-boned a car on 2018 Valentines' cause I couldn't see that the leftmost lane is a mandatory left. by up_hills (Thu 28th Nov 2019 5:36pm)

  • Moved here in 2016 for a 5 year degree at Glasgow Uni. I cut it down to 4 so I could leave a year early. Some of the reasons include: 1. Dogshit weather 2. I don't like drinking or being around drunk people 3. If you don't want to drive you either risk your life on a bike or get scammed by the "public" transport 4. Cops are useless 5. Rent's a scam (fgs don't reply "move to x area") by up_hills (Fri 10th Jan 2020 2:16pm)

  • Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYp2BBEVO28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYp2BBEVO28) I'm currently in the process of prosecuting a cement truck driver who almost ran over a dozen cyclists back in August. We were in primary position, he skimmed past me close enough for me to lift his company phone number off the passenger door. I've almost been killed half a dozen times. The A809 is in the top 10 most dangerous roads in the UK. I could talk about close calls and aggressive drivers all day. I've been [everywhere](https://imgur.com/a/QozH8pM) in Glasgow. I know the city better than most of the locals. Good museums? Compared to where? Not where I'm from, that's for sure. I don't know why I'm arguing about this point, it's not like I've ever been to a museum voluntairily. Ah, yes, two bike lanes that I'll never use because they're on the other side of the city. Thanks, Glasgow CC, I feel very safe now. I haven't been anywhere lately because the weather's been garbage and I got tired of wearing out a bike chain every month. I don't get how having a full time job would change my experience anyway. Being unemployed/slagging off for the entire summer/a student/delivery cyclist has let me see more of the city than most natives/"wagecucks" who fire up the GPS in their car just to get to work every day. I get why people like this city. I'm not saying that the city is objectively horrible or that nobody would ever like living here. In fact I think that most people will like this city for the reasons you listed above. My standards and requirements are different. I'm from a place with great weather, where I don't have to spend 6 months a year on the indoor trainer. The rent there is a third of what I pay here for at least twice the space. Public transport is actually public transport and it costs significantly less. As I said, those aren't my only reasons - there's more personal reasons I can't go into. by up_hills (Sat 11th Jan 2020 3:06pm)

  • Shoppers have two main options: * Drive downtown, which is going to take a long time and will cost an arm and a leg in parking. Take the bus downtown, which is going to cost a fortune if you're taking the whole family. * Drive to an out-of-town shopping centre that's next to an expressway and has free (or close to free) parking. If Glasgow wants more people to go downtown, they have to seriously restrict parking and driving to out-of-town shopping centres and/or make public transport seriously cheaper. This has been proven again and again - the quality or type of shops on a high street or city centre don't matter. What kills a high street is out-of-town shopping centres that are convenient for the motoring public. For those of you not in the know, there's a new shopping centre being built opposite the Riverside Museum. It will have more than 1300 parking spaces and the developers expect 73% of customers to get there by car. That's what is threatening the Glasgow city centre, not John Lewis or Cineworld or anything in Edinburgh.

  • I paid 15 quid to get from Lennoxtown back to Glasgow because my bike had broken down catastrophically. Bus driver turned me away. Randomly met someone who helped me fix the bike so I could get back home. If I hadn't, that would've been a three hour walk in cycling kit in the freezing cold, carrying a bike that wouldn't even roll. Tossers. by up_hills (Thu 13th Feb 2020 1:00am)
  • Hate to break it to ya but every mode of transport, including cars, is heavily subsidised. Public transport subsidies sound like a lot until you hear about how much motorways cost to build and maintain. VAT on cars, emissions tax and whatever else drivers pay doesn't come close to paying for road maintenance. Barring extreme corruption like in NYC, public transport is cheaper in total, even if subsidised. by up_hills (Thu 13th Feb 2020 1:31pm)

  • This is a radical idea but how about bike lanes that buses and taxis can't park on? Edit: Not that I'm not glad the Adam Smith building is getting rebuilt. I hurt my ankle and had to miss several important lectures because the lecture theatre is on the 11th and the only lift was out of order. by up_hills (Thu 27th Feb 2020 5:26pm)
  • Tell them you'll drop them further along because you've been ticketed parking on a bike lane/bus stop/zig zags before. You can tell when somebody doesn't want to be on the bike lane. They'll drop someone off and take off as soon as the door is shut. A couple weeks ago I had a private hire driver that close passed me and then immediately parked up on the bike lane. That's what I want to prevent. by up_hills (Sat 29th Feb 2020 1:26pm)
  • Some Avengers movie after Ultron. I think it was Infinity War. In one of the opening scenes two characters talk about going to Glasgow from Edinburgh but they go to Glasgow Central to "leave". Oh well. by up_hills (Sun 19th Apr 2020 9:57pm)
  • DELETED * Getting supplies, emergencies, exercise. Those are the rules for going out. Some police forces seem to allow driving to get exercise, most don't. If someone decides to call the cops over this behaviour and the cops decide to act don't play dumb. * Parking like that blocks traffic and makes travel and exercise more dangerous, increasing the strain on the NHS. * Those paths at the Crow are tiny. Even if you somehow manage to keep your distance, the local authorities have dug up dirt and put up barriers on the entrances of the paths to prevent overcrowding. They didn't expect people to behave like entitled pricks. * "What if it's a disabled person whose car you're taking a photo of?" If you're disabled and you manage to use the Crow and Mugdock trails, you deserve a medal. * "You're putting yourself in danger by going up Crow/Mugdock." I've gone up Crow and Mugdock about a couple hundred times combined. The only danger for me is the motorists parking on the inside of blind turns on a -12% incline. by up_hills (Sun 19th Apr 2020 10:19pm)
  • I don't have a beard (I can't grow one). I just trim them down, only takes 5 minutes. I do it partly for the "culture" and partly because it feels better while going fast. When there's events you get side-eye if you show up with expensive aero gear and hairy legs. by up_hills (Sun 19th Apr 2020 10:32pm)
  • That's not the whole point of the post. Parking like that puts people in danger, especially during the pandemic. by up_hills (Sun 19th Apr 2020 10:43pm)
  • DELETED Exercise reduces your chance of dying of COVID. Driving is just an injury risk. I would've been annoyed if there were 20 cyclists on Crow, but, yes, it would have been sound. I would have subsequently avoided going on it. But it wasn't busy with cyclists, just drivers making non-essential trips. I don't get why you're speculating here. There's a reason why exercise is allowed and non-essential motoring trips aren't. To be clear I've massively reduced the amount I ride outside. With this weather last year I would have been riding outside 5 times a week. Now I only do one ride, without stops and while giving tons of space to pedestrians and other riders. I have no elderly family in this country or any dependents. by up_hills (Sun 19th Apr 2020 10:40pm)
  • DELETED But it's legally allowed. Again, exercise reduces your chances of dying of COVID. Parking on the inside of a blind bend on a -12% slope is more dangerous than the ride I've done hundreds of times before. by up_hills (Sun 19th Apr 2020 10:49pm)
  • DELETED Getting there is exercise. Every single metre getting from where I live to the top of Crow I was exercising. My trip isn't dangerous. Their inconsiderate parking is. by up_hills (Sun 19th Apr 2020 10:53pm)
  • The folk in the cars aren't staying in their cars. They're getting out to use the tiny trails. I'm keeping my distance and ensuring I don't infect anyone if I have it. Thanks for resorting to insults and generalisations. This is why I'm leaving this city. by up_hills (Sun 19th Apr 2020 10:59pm)
  • 1. You're comparing the Netherlands, a densely and evenly populated country, to Scotland, a place where most of the people live on a single belt and has swaths of empty, near-uninhabited land. 2. Amsterdam kind of sucks to the rest of the Netherlands in terms of bike infrastructure. In fact, about half of the Netherlands sucks compared to the other half of the Netherlands. You're also comparing apples to oranges. In the Netherlands, the motorways are sometimes the \*only\* way to travel a significant distance by car. Some cities are split into chunks to completely disallow driving from one to the other without using an arterial or ring road. In some places, you need an electronic tag just to get in the neighbourhood with a car. In a city, there is limited space. Urban density for UK and Netherlands cities is very similar. If the UK were to go full Netherlands, a lot of the roads would shrink to a single lane each way and a lot of parking would disappear. On a national level, the Netherlands' strategy is not to get the cars out. They have big motorways with fast, efficient junctions. On a city level, if you want to drive in you're fucked. Also, the Netherlands has very, very few multi-lane roundabouts. They have single lane roundabouts that cut speed on entry and exit, with crosswalks for bikes and pedestrians on each arm. In the UK, most of the roundabouts are two-lane minimum, with wide motorway-style exits to allow for drivers to enter and exit as fast as possible. by up_hills (Sat 2nd May 2020 10:28pm)

Neighbour fired up a wood grill right under my window and flared up my asthma. Took me 20 minutes to find out where the smoke was coming from. The backyard looked empty, so did the neighbouring ones. Didn't smell like it was coming from the kitchen hood so I thought something was burning inside my room. Eventually I thought to poke my head out my window and look straight down.

  • That's not how it works. Google highways and induced demand. by up_hills (Thu 14th May 2020 3:18pm)
  • I don't think they'll ever close it. IMO Uni avenue would be a lot better closed or one-way because there's access to all Uni parking from the bottom or side streets. My biggest problem is the amount of parking, when the footpath is about a metre and a half wide at points with very bumpy surfacing. Bike lanes on both or one side would help the cyclists going up to the Uni and disabled people or pram walkers who can't roll on that pavement because of the roots. If the argument is park access for disabled people, they can put a filter in the middle that restricts motor traffic. If the argument is that traffic would go up, more roads increase traffic and fewer roads decrease it, look up induced demand. If traffic was really a concern, why don't we open the road from Kelvingrove Gate to Eldon Street? There's room for two lanes and parking, that would surely alleviate traffic by a considerable amount. Someone mentioned that it's a nightmare to drive around the West End during the festival. It's because of all the plonks taking cabs and Ubers to the festival and getting dropped off in the middle of the street because all the parking's full. You can't compare the festival to a road closure. by up_hills (Thu 14th May 2020 3:36pm)

  • The ones affiliated with Glasgow Uni are a lot like actual flats, I never had a problem living in Kelvinhaugh Gate or delivering in Murano. All privately built or massively renovated student flat buildings and all the ones downtown have very weird systems. The one on 359 Argyle is hilarious. Multiple front doors and you have to get into the courtyard to get to the flats on the side streets. The three complexes near Calgary St - Stafford St really take the piss though, each of them is at least three separate buildings, but most of the residents were clued in and would wait outside. I'd have to give the Shit Crown to the U-shaped complex on the river near the SSE though, even if it's not student flats. [https://imgur.com/a/pjYrUdS](https://imgur.com/a/pjYrUdS) Each one of the red circles is a separate elevator, only accessible from inside the courtyard. The two green arrows are the only entrances. Yeah. Navigating when inside was the easy part a lot of the time, the problem with having one entrance is just ringing the bell to be let in involves a massively complicated board with instructions next to it that you have to decipher. I won't miss trying to figure out what order to put in the building number, floor number and flat number or having to text the residents for help, some of whom couldn't even help because they never had to use the system themselves. by up_hills (Sun 5th Jul 2020 6:16pm)

  • Anyone know why the road in front of the Monkey House and Old Greenock Road are now gravel? The paved detour on a bike from Langbank to Bishopton is 6 miles (assuming you don't want to use Greenock Road) and I can't find anything about it online. by up_hills (Thu 6th Aug 2020 8:47pm)
  • I’ve been applying to jobs for 3 months in 6 different countries, my flight was cancelled 6 times but I still have to give 2 months notice to the landlord? Mint. Apparently students in student accommodation only have to give 7 days notice, but I had decided I actually wanted to live here without being jerked around by student accommodation, so fuck me I guess. by up_hills (Fri 14th Aug 2020 5:17am)
