Cycle through Glasgow on two wheels and take in the city’s impressive mix of Victorian architecture, riverside landmarks, vibrant neighbourhoods and internationally recognised street art. This tour blends must-see sights with stories that bring the city’s layered past and creative present to life. Choose either a classic refurbished bike or a brand new e-bike to suit your preference and pace.
The tour begins with a short briefing, helmet fitting and safety guidance before heading out onto a route designed with both interest and safety in mind. The route mainly follows cycle paths and quieter roads, but riders should be comfortable cycling in areas with light to moderate traffic. The experience includes riding through leafy parks, alongside the River Clyde, and past some of the most recognised sites in the city. These include the Finnieston Crane, the Hydro, Riverside Museum, Kelvingrove Museum, and the University of Glasgow. The famous Govan Stones are also included, alongside tucked-away local highlights and some of Glasgow’s best examples of contemporary street art.
Guides tailor the tour to suit the group’s pace and interests, and are trained to keep things engaging and relaxed while sharing a broad mix of history, culture and lesser-known stories. All bikes are named after Glaswegian women whose lives you’ll learn about along the way—part of a collaboration with the Glasgow Women’s Library. You’ll also be given a small snack mid-way and there's time for photos at key landmarks. Tours go ahead in most weather, with ponchos available if needed. In case of high winds or ice, the ride may be postponed or altered for safety.
The tour meets at 36 Washington Street, Glasgow, located near the River Clyde and within walking distance of many central landmarks. The meeting point is easy to reach whether you're arriving by public transport or car. Anderston station is the closest rail stop, with Glasgow Central just a short 10-minute walk away. On-street paid parking is available nearby for those driving in.
The surrounding area offers a perfect launch point for exploring Glasgow by bike—close to the Clyde walkway and main routes heading west towards Kelvingrove or south across the river. After your tour, you’ll be well placed to continue exploring on foot or by bike.
All participants must be able to ride a bike confidently and be in suitable physical condition to complete a relaxed 3-hour ride. You must not have any health conditions that would affect your ability to cycle. A waiver must be signed before the start of the tour, and appropriate clothing should be worn depending on the weather—this could include a waterproof jacket. Riders are expected to follow basic safety instructions and be respectful of others in the group.
If you’re bringing your own bike, it must be roadworthy. Solo riders are welcome to book, but at least two riders are needed for the tour to go ahead. In cases of unsafe weather, such as high winds or ice, tours may be cancelled or rearranged.
This provider puts people first—tours are known for being fun, welcoming and filled with character. Guides are chosen for their personalities as much as their skills, and every ride is designed to be memorable and engaging, not just informative. Guests are treated like friends, and the experience feels more like exploring with a local than being led by a guide.
The company is deeply committed to making a positive impact. From repurposing ex-postal bikes and supporting social causes, to cutting down on waste and promoting sustainable travel, the aim is to create meaningful experiences that do good. Their connection with the Glasgow Women’s Library means every bike carries a story, helping guests leave with more than just a set of memories—they also leave with a sense of place and connection to the people who shaped it.
