    Im 70, still working fulltime so I watch the cycling videos from my stationary bike. Im in Dallas, so it was lovely to do a ride from my birthplace to one of my favourite places. thanks for the trip

    Wow that sunrise drone shot! This is tempting me out again when I’ve got time. I take the train up and cycle back😊The Bowling Basin is a lovely wee bit. I always think if you’re cycling with a young family you’re going to ultra careful alongside the Leven! As you say, you don’t mess with that! A lot of old factory buildings around. Cycling from Edinburgh along the canal I picked up 2 flats. Within minutes near Broxburn. I ended up catching the train back from Linlithgow due to the time.

    Your videos are really good! As a cycle infrastructure geek I saw your most recent one about Glasgow's great new developments in my recommendations, which was fantastic - and this one was brilliant too. I love your style of filming and editing! Looking forward to watching your other videos 👍

    Nice wee nostalgia trip for me (a Renfrew boy) as I used to go fishing in the Clydebank canal way back when. Subbed 👍🏻

    That was a really excellent, relaxing video. I sold my bike a few months ago as where I live it requires riding on very busy, fast roads. I didn't want to put myself in front of inpatient drivers anymore. Watching this brought back great memories of doing long rides, just exploring and enjoying the journey.

    Nice look around your city, that track looks very picturesque and could imagine in summer would be very pretty. I can't believe how much ice you had on your brakes,to cold for me.

      Thanks! was just looking at it again there and thinking about how cold my fingers where when flying the drone. That video was only possible with hand warmers inside my gloves. The sunrise was phenomenal that day.

    Love seeing the production quality just keep on improving on your channel. Have you ever seen the UA-cam channel “fisherman’s life,” ? Your videos remind me of his videos, same nice vibe and form, like I’m along for a day out, and relaxing. Except yours is the cycling in Glasgow version! Which is great because I’m from Glasgow. Great shots of the city. I think maybe now all you need is a better microphone. But I understand technicalities of that could be complicated with cycling out doors.
    Keep doing what you’re doing! I look forward to seeing the city change with the seasons in your videos this year.

    Nice ride! The new bridge at Bowling looks interesting. Last time I was out that way it was still under construction - I need to head out west again!
    I'm enjoying your videos and seeing the infrastructure that Glasgow's putting in. Is there a paper cycling map for Glasgow such as the one's Spokes produces for Edinburgh and the Lothians?

    • @glasgowcycles
      @glasgowcycles  2 роки тому +1

      I'm not sure about the paper cycling map. Last time I got one of those was at the European championships I think. Would be good to get something that's updated.
