(1) ReviewsA ride to visit three parks in Glasgow: Bellahouston, Rouken Glen and Queen's. On route, we'll pass by distinctive sights such as Mackintosh's House for an Art Lover, the picturesque Pollok House and the newly refurbished Burrell Collection. We'll see horses, Scotland's Highland cattle and an Elephant! In Queen's Park, there will be the opportunity to admire a stunning view over Glasgow from hilltop. This ride is suitable to everyone: whether you return to cycling after a long time, or want to become more confident cycling in a group, or simply for a ride and a chat!
The ride is mostly on cycle lanes and paths, however there are some short sections on road, sharing with motor traffic. Suitable for any type of bike, including city bike share. The route is mostly flat with a couple of short, moderate ascents in the parks. The optional climb to the top of Queen's park is short but steep. All paved surfaces.
We'll have a brief stop in each of the three parks. The first stop is at Bellahouston Park. The second stop is at the Pollok house, by the river. Finally, we'll have another brief stop in Queen's park, by the pond and near cafes.
Any bike in full working order is suitable, including city bike share. A helmet is advised. Bring something to drink and maybe some snacks. Evening ride: please bring fully-charged front and rear lights.
We never leave anyone behind
