By linking the bike lane to the mosh pit, the University of Glasgow’s Professor Matt Brennan hopes the Glasgow Music City map can inform conversations about how the city’s cultural life can align with its sustainable transport planning
isn’t the only common thread linking cycling with Glasgow’s vibrant music scene .
“I’ve got a real interest in Glasgow’s status as a music city,” he said. “I’m from Canada and I originally moved to Glasgow because of its music scene essentially. I was drawn to the city because it had this very vibrant music scene. “There are a lot of issues facing the live music sector at the moment as we recover from the pandemic. Also achieving net zero is something that many cities around the world are trying and struggling to achieve. This project is really about putting those two identities of the city into eye lock with one another, because that’s something that I haven’t seen done very much.”
“There’s lots of great cycling paths that have been created recently that puts you sort of out of the line of road traffic and it’s becoming an easier city to cycle in and increasingly easy with each passing year.”
