Glasgow Goes Green Bike Ride - Bike for Good 

Join us for a guided bike ride to gain road confidence and learn about new bike routes around the City.

We will be meeting in George Square and finish the ride at the Advanced Research Centre on campus. 

Advice for riders: 

• Must be able to cycle safely - this is not a beginner's training event.
• Please wear appropriate clothing - dress according to the weather and wear suitable shoes. Baggy trousers and flowing skirts may get caught in the chain and be damaged.
• Think about bringing gloves.
