Looking back on this, Glasgow has fully changed

[@yellowfolder]

I like the way this is filmed, with the slowdown at interesting sights

[@BarryAirdrieFromDaUK]

This video reminds me of Summer of 2014 (because that is when I first watched it). I cant believe how quickly the last 2.5 years have flown by seems like it was just last year.

[@ryancarter1038]

Fantastic. Thanks for this.

[@casualobserver9092]

brilliant video mate. just getting into the game myself. got a gopro a few weeks ago....just need to try get my head round the gopro studio to make videos like this

[@IrvinDuguid]

I stopped at Magic Cycles on Sunday to borrow a track pump and then needed a mudguard bracket adjusted. It was done FOC with the suggestion that I stop in to buy a juice next time I'm passing... Top service, and some nice bikes by Genesis, Ridgeway and Saracen.

[@mt2oo8]

Very inspiring journey. Would love to do this myself sometime! Also would like to point out that the two cyclists at 2:21 are my mum and my step dad, never expected to see them in a video!

[@IrvinDuguid]

Haha, what are the chances of that?! You must have eyes like a hawk.

[@IrvinDuguid]

Cool, glad you liked the vid! Hope the ride went ok, it's a great run.

[@abgmac67]

Great editing :)

[@lewish9602]

Cycled along the forth and clyde this morning from lock 27 to clydebank. Lovely when you dodge the jakeys haha

[@46Ashgrove]

Very good. As much as I’d like to do this, I’m sure I’d get lost somewhere along that route. And I live in Glasgow Harbour Route looks too confusing for me 😐

[@IrvinDuguid]

ashgrove 46 Hi, it’s pretty well sign-posted so I’m sure you’d be fine. Maybe try a bit of it and see how you get on? Sped-up as this is, it probably does look confusing!

[@sahim68]

[@IrvinDuguid]

Cheers, thanks for watching!

[@IrvinDuguid]

Ha, the camera was attached to my helmet.

[@RustyNail30]

[@adventuross_]
