Always interesting to hear your observations, John. You're right about the long waiting times at lights – it creates significant friction on cycle journeys.
The broken pole you saw at 15:40 was caused by a crash in Christmas Day that I just happened to cycle past. One car had rear-ended the other. Thankfully no one was hurt when I checked.
Also sorry to double comment but when you got off the path at 18:00, there is a proposal to put in lanes all the way to the transport museum. Great video 😊
There was a consolation on the "south street" castlebank street, they propose a bidirectional cycle lane on the side closest to the Clyde, taking you to the corner where you exited NCN7 and to the junction at the transport museum, along with adding pedestrian crossings on the nearby Thornwood roundabout. As it's at that stage it could be some time before that's actually done but a good sign. The proposals are better than what we have, so worth supporting but they could go further.
Lovley video. Brilliant to see the Dear Green Place through fresh eyes. As other have commented the stretch of road at 18mins is really ready and needing the lane. I commuted along it for 2 years from southside to Clydebank and that section is honking. I rode on pavement to your right and fixed dozen of punctures in those years haha. Lots of crashes sadly I witnessed over the years

Beautiful!
A couple of weeks ago the council released plans to improve cycle route 7 along South street past Glasgow harbour as well as improvements to thornwood roundabout. https://glasgow.gov.uk/article/14152/Thornwood-Roundabout-and-National-Cycle-Network-Route-7-Project
