Is cycling the best way to see Glasgow? 🚲
In this video I join Gallus Pedals, a brilliant local bike tour company, to explore the city from a completely different perspective. Instead of the usual sightseeing route, we cycled through hidden paths, leafy parks and historic streets while learning more about Glasgow along the way.
If you’d like to check out the tour for yourself head to their website:

The bikes themselves are part of the story too — refurbished ex-post office bikes that have been saved from landfill and given a second life showing visitors around the city.
On the tour we visited some fantastic spots including:
• Kelvingrove Museum
• The University of Glasgow
• The new Govan–Partick Bridge
• The Tall Ship and Riverside Museum
• Govan Old Church and the famous Govan Stones
• Hidden cycle paths and gardens around the West End
It was such a fun and sustainable way to explore the city — perfect for visitors or even locals wanting to see Glasgow from a new angle. Such a laugh and easy paced if thats what you want.

In my next video I’ll be exploring another side of Glasgow with a visit to one of the city’s preserved tenement flats and showing you around the hostel I stayed in — so make sure you come back for that!
Thanks for watching. Cheers, and let me know in the comments if you go or have been on tour with them! Ix

Lovely video again Iona thanks for the hard work making these😊 I did not realise Hue and Cry were still going
Great video again Iona can you send some sun to Ireland.
My daughter has a Jag, I can thoroughly recommend them. Was this filmed last year or is Glasgow green all year round? TX
Does look great fun! My Ella just spent a week there, she loves Scotland. Didn't want to move up when I wanted to though ugh! She even met up with an old friend of mine that I did nurse training with in 1976!
Looked really nice the city on a bike ride , showing you traffic free routes for safe bike rides.
👋🤠 Px👍
Fantastic bike tour Iona, what a great way to see Glasgow, it would've been hilarious to see two otters swimming up the Clyde haha. Who's that old git you're with at end of video? I can't wait for your next vlog, until the next time, take care. x
Just watching now , great routes nice way to see the places otherwise seldom visited. And it's dry ! Something we can only dream of in the hammered Hebrides last week or so !
Dolphins in the Clyde? That would have taken quite a lot of Bucky!
