Temporary cycle parking on the grass verge at the Riverside Museum while the regular cycle parking is out of bounds due to construction work.
[Image taken 11.7.22] Rowntree Park, outside the Reading Cafe, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] A Nihola e-cargo cycle (https://nihola.com/) on the end of the tranche of Sheffields. This shows the usefulness of these end … [more]
[Image taken 9.7.22] Ethel Ward Memorial Playing Field, Calf Close, Haxby. Lock sharing... A vibrant child's cycle and a no less brightly coloured balance bike adorn this Sheffield. Other image here today and links: #184354.
[Image taken 9.7.22] Ethel Ward Memorial Playing Field, Calf Close, Haxby. This Tier hire e-cycle (see: #164663) was an unexpected sight at Haxby Carnival. The number of cycles was woeful. The number of motor vehicles was worrying. The … [more]
No path connection between the road crossing and the entrance to Hogganfield Park. Have to bump kerb and cross grass. This is a signed walking and cycling route, the Seven Lochs Trail.
The gap between the old cycle network in East Kilbride and the new cycle network in East Kilbride is four lampposts' worth of road. Note the tyre tracks in the grass.
[Image taken on 2.4.22] Clifton Green, York. Sheffield racks at a handy location - in front of local shops. Easy to find. But too close to the grass. I had to push my cycle quite hard to get it far enough onto the rack such that it was … [more]
No progress on building a proper path here. This is shown as a cycleway in Glasgow City Council's GIS system.
No attempt has been made by the housing developer to integrate the existing paths into the new road layout, let alone upgrade them. The path on the left connects Daldowie Road with Caledonia Road at the bus terminus.
[UPDATE: See: #183544.] [Image taken 12.9.21] B&Q, Hurricane Way, Clifton Moor/Rawcliffe, York. The front of this B&Q outlet has had a makeover see: #174070. The disabled car parking remains. It's easy to find (it's on the right as you … [more]
The footway on the north side of Castlebank Street resumes, but is fenced off just west of the toucan crossing (as seen in #173896). That doesn't stop people using it, and a worn desire line is visible in the grass verge too. NCN7 crosses … [more]
The northern footway on South Street comes to another break, and again there is a desire line worn in the grass. NCN7 is on the opposite shared footway. Meanwhile, a line of car showroom flags marks the course of the demolished former … [more]
South Street, with worn desire line in the grass verge where there is a missing footway, a speed camera that has been out of use for a long time, a traffic counter, and NCN7 on the footway across the road.
The footway on this side of South Street resumes, with the worn desire line continuous from #173806. The NCN7 cycle route on the opposite footway is not good enough to attract these two to use it.
The toucan crossing is used to follow the cycle route which continues on the footway of the other side of South Street, but there is a clear desire line for staying on this side. There is a short break before the footway resumes at Ferryden … [more]
Toucan crossing across Mosspark Boulevard to reach the Dumbreck Road shared footway route across the railway and motorway bridge, heading towards Pollok Country Park. If coming from the west, the grass separates the shared path from the … [more]
The path alongside Bellahouston Park and Mosspark Boulevard leads directly to the toucan crossing across Dumbreck Road to Fleurs Avenue, but there is no link across the grass to the new toucan crossing across Mosspark Boulevard to join the … [more]
A dropped kerb for cycling from Cavendish Street towards the South City Way, but now it is aligned with a large patch of grass, so requires awkward turns to get around.
Vegetation encroaching onto path near Gower Street, and evidence of people going across the grass instead.
The Birniehill Roundabout cycle track merges onto the Kingsway carriageway, but there is room for it to continue off-road until the Whitemoss Roundabout where another cycle track starts. Again, tyre tracks in the mud and grass give away the … [more]
No proper connecting path between the back of Hairmyres Hospital and Strathtay Avenue, even though this is the way to the nearest cycle route. UPDATE: A (very narrow) new path has appeared, see #172687.
Evidence of a desire line through the park from Kelvinhaugh Street to Corunna Street, avoiding Argyle Street. From Corunna Street there is a de facto quietway to the city centre via the Skypark path.
I don't know why the path doesn't continue behind the wall. The cobbles are not everyone's cup of tea.
A new ramp is to be constructed here, linking the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath, together with the new bridge to the Claypits nature reserve, to Garscube Road.
Tyre tracks (not mine) in the grass in Househill Park. This park could do with a few more formalised paths.
As I've mentioned before (see #107159), this is listed in Glasgow City Council's database of cycle routes.
On the left, the Garscadden Way, leading to the Drumchapel Way, and on the right, the path through to Annan Drive. Both could do with some proper path building works.
The path to Stockiemuir Road, and across to the Baljaffray estate, could easily be upgraded for cycling, along with the rest of the route from the Allander Centre.
The new cycleway along St Rollox Drive leads onto this footway which has not been upgraded. It is obstructed ahead by utilities work and the only way onto the road is across the grass. There's also a 'No Cycling' sign on the back of the … [more]
The shared footway takes people away from Manchester Road and over to Nelson Street, whether they want that or not. It seems some people ride across the grass so presumably they wish to stay with Manchester Road.
A fairly new cycle link on Hopehill Road, including some new green space created by shortening the former carriageway on this side of the closure.
The Stewartfield cycle route leaves Stewartfield Crescent and takes the path. There would appear to be room for a diagonal connecting path to avoid the right angled corners on the path as it is, originally designed for use only by … [more]
The original cycle track leads cyclists out onto the busy Whitemoss Road carriageway. But the footway has been made shared use, without a connection being made between the cycle track and the footway to allow transfer onto the shared … [more]
I saw someone walking across from Applegate Drive when I was further back along Netherton Road, but I see there is no path here.
A route sign for the East Kilbride to Strathaven cycle route facing a grassy slope with no path across it. The access has been moved further west (see #107502).
The path along the edge of the park disappears under a bush, and because the grass is at the foot of a slope, the grass can get a bit too boggy to cycle on.
A poor quality surface at the start of the Cleddans Burn path, part of the Garscadden Way cycle route and Drumchapel Way walking route. The footway on the Goals access road swaps from the north to the south side at this point.
The Drumchapel Way turns left to join with the Garscadden Way. The Drumchapel Way is a walking route around Drumchapel and the surrounding woodland described at https://forestryandland.gov.scot/images/pdf/rec_pdfs/DrumchapelWoodsLeaflet.pdf
The winter has taken its toll on the Garscadden Way. This is listed as an official cycle route in the council's GIS system at https://glasgowgis.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=0a599fa51e3d4460a615653700769bf7
The path across to the Garscadden Way blocked by fallen branches, but will anyone notice there's a path to be blocked?
An abandoned section of old road at Kinneil, with no connecting path to the footway on the new road, although it is not too difficult to walk across the grass.
The road does not extend as far as the flats in Lauderdale Gardens, making room for some grass and trees. But no dropped kerbs at either end of the path to assist with cycling through the area.
The Govan Road shared-use footway crosses sides here, although there is only the presence of a toucan crossing as a clue. As always, the asphalt does not provide a direct route to the crossing, and as the wear on the grass shows people are … [more]
The inevitable result of placing a barrier in the way of the path and not diverting the path directly to the forced crossing point - a worn path across the grass. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but is that fence panel not meant to be … [more]
I guess they never thought that anyone would cycle to the industrial units, so never thought to install a dropped kerb where the path meets the road. Of course, the majority of users will be going the other way, so why the turn away from … [more]
The people of Pollok have made their own desire lines clear, and they don't match the official paths.
The Garscadden Way almost indiscernible approaching the Drumchapel Road crossing. Only the old access barrier gives a clue to it once being a Strathclyde Regional Council cycle route.
The Drumchapel Way and Garscadden Way meet and head onwards between the trees. The Drumchapel Way comes along the path from Kinfauns Drive and turns, while the path continues on to Annan Drive. The Garscadden Way comes across the grass from … [more]
A clear desire line for a ramp to the Clyde Walkway where there is only steps on this side of Dalmarnock Road.
National Cycle Route 41 runs across the grass here, completely unmarked. Possibly the least developed stretch of National Cycle Network in the country. Photo #84310 is from the same spot, looking in the opposite direction.
The only way to get a bike through this ridiculous barrier is to go across the grass. And if North Lanarkshire Council thinks they stop motorbikes, they don't. There were several people on riding around on trailbikes in this locality that … [more]
With signs for NCN60 on the Hendham Vale path visible in the background, why not create a new path across this grass? See also #72645.
@carsickglasgow @GlasgowCC #desirelines south of Bell's Bridge - lights in wrong place #fastlinkmess http://t.co/YL8GhpktYv
A new path has been laid between Bells' Bridge and Pacific Drive. A toucan crossing has been provided across Pacific Drive and the adjacent Fastlink busway. They don't meet up and force users to make a zigzag or cut across the grass.
