1. Bellahouston Cycle Track, Bellahouston Park. A brand new cycle track for the community to enjoy a traffic free environment in which to learn to ride a bike, cycle for leisure, train or participate in marshalled track racing. This is part of a scheme to establish a Cycle Activity Centre within Bellahouston Park and to encourage the wider community to cycle more often.
2. New link connecting the River Kelvin Walkway/Cycleway and the Forth & Clyde Canal. This facility provides a quality step free connection between these two popular traffic free walking and cycling routes, linking the city centre with outlaying suburbs. It also improves access to these routes for those with mobility impairments.
Car-free day
Glasgow carries out a Car-free day 2006 and closes off one or more streets to traffic, and opens it to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport.
