Cycling infrastucture

Length of cycling infrastructure

The data shown here is taken from the 2018 Bike Life Glasgow report undertaken by Sustrans and Glasgow City Council. On the basis of this work, Glasgow has 293.3 km of dedicated cycle routes for everyday cycling.

The total lengths (in km) of each type of cycle route within the network are given beneath:

Cycle route type	Length (Km)
Bus and cycle lanes	39.7
On-road painted cycle lanes	49.2
Shared-use footways	151.2
Cycle tracks within highway, physically separated from traffic and pedestrians	7.5
Traffic-free cycle routes away from the highway	45.7
Routes segregated from vehicles (sum of 3 categories above)	204.4
All routes	293.3

Glasgow City Council has a web-mapping application which provides an interactive map of cycling facilities across Glasgow.

Notes

The categories and distances are those that were used in the Bike Life Glasgow report. 

As Bike Life was about ‘everyday cycling’, it did not take ‘Mountain Bike Trail’ lengths or other associated sport cycling lengths into account.
