Cycling because it's quick, good for my health, and cheap to boot ;) it's also often enjoyable, although there are no cycle lanes near me so it can be a bit dicey. I also use the bus/train and walk.
Thank you for your response, we are continually looking at ways to improve safety on our roads and have a forthcoming road safety campaign to encourage everyone to look out for each other. Our road safety plan and transport strategy outlines how we intend to protect and prioritise our most vulnerable road users.
I also cycle and use public transport. By choice I have never owned a car, even though for the larger part of my working life I worked outside Glasgow and used public transport.
That's good to hear, most shorter journeys can be made on foot or by bicycle and linking these modes to public transport is a key priority for Glasgow.
Cycling - Because its quick, cheap, journey time is reliable. I'm fortunate to live near South City Way which is not perfect but its incredible to see how popular it has become.
That's good to hear, the new infrastructure is certainly encouraging more people to consider cycling as an alternative to the car - as you say cheap and good for your health.
I cycle almost everywhere, and if I'm not cycling I usually just walk. For me cycling is faster and cheaper than any alternative and means I don't have to deal with unreliable public transport or sit in rush hour traffic on my commute.
Thank you for your input and that's good to hear - so many short journeys made by car could be walked or cycled. Any suggestions you have to promote cycling in your local community or workplace would be welcome?
Cycling is cheaper and quicker for me than using public transport. I am lucky to live near the canal, so can use the town path for most of my journey. As there are no cycle lanes on the roads which would take me to the city centre, I would not feel safe cycling at all if it weren't for the canal path.
That's good to hear, work on our segregated infrastructure is on-going, however campaigns such as give me space have made drivers more aware of their responsibilities in our shared road space. The new highway code rules should also help change behaviour and will form part of our new road safety campaign for 2023 where we are asking everyone to look out for each other. I'm also aware the Cycling Scotland engage with fleet operators to ensure they are more awareness of vulnerable road users.
Faster than car, cheaper, healthier.
Thanks for your response, any ideas on how we can convince everyone else is most welcome :)
