I've used the Clyde Tunnel since I started cycle commuting over 3 years ago. In that time I've only once felt threatened (neds with sticks). Even then, they didn't bother with me. However, I can understand the perception that the tunnel is dangerous or scary. Thus a lot of people don't use what could be a convenient shortcut.
To try and address this issue, the council have installed a new entrance and exit system in the southbound tunnel, and have plans to extend the system to the other tunnel, finance permitting.
So what do you think?
I plan to send this link to Glasgow City Council, so air your views of this new system here. I have my own views but I don't want to bias anything.
I will of course remove any abusive etc posts.
I'm a helmet camera using cycle commuter in Glasgow (Torrance). I love it! It's fun, it keeps me fit, it's quicker than driving the car, and it benefits the environment. The VAST majority of my commutes are fun and incident free. Sometimes though things happen that endanger me and others. So I film my commute and post it on YouTube. This is my story...

I've been asked on a number of occasions to put a video up of my whole commute (minus a little bit at the start and end). So I've finally go around to it.
Here it is. A randomly chosen, typical commute, where nothing much happens. An enjoyable ride to work.
It's sped up to fit youtube and to spice it up (whooo hooo!) I added some appropriate music, selected from the youtube music library.
Enjoy.
If that is the right word!
