Transport museum test ride

If you're fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour. This is a pleasant 15 mile ride, starting on roads then onto traffic free footpaths. Passing by the new Commonwealth Games Arena you then join the Clyde walkway where you enjoy the sights of Glasgow Green. We will pass by numerous bridges which in many ways reflects the development of Glasgow and shows the story of transportation. From the pedestrian and horse traffic of the middle ages, through to railway mania in the 19th century to the 20th century age of the motor car, and now 21st century cycling! Refreshments are available at the new Riverside Museum before we head back to Tollcross. Hybrid or mountain bikes are ideal for this relaxing ride. *The route advertised may be subject to slight adjustments due to the Commonweath Games.
