As people may have gathered I'm working in East Kilbride and am likely to
continue to do so for some time. Consequently I need a pied-a-terre
somewhere within cycling range. Currently I'm staying in a B&B in
Strathaven which is very pleasant, but the landlady is going on her
holidays... I need somewhere more reliable (and, ideally, where I can
leave stuff reasonably safely over the weekends).
So I'm looking for a bedsit or a flat; and as there are more of these in
Glasgow than in nice little places like Strathaven or Eaglesham, I'm
likely to end up in Glasgow.
Commuting, I average about 17mph. That simply isn't feasible on most
cyclepaths (certainly not on the ones in EK). So I expect to commute on
the road. At the same time, extremely busy roads are less than wonderfully
pleasant.
Are there particular routes between Glasgow and EK which are more pleasant
to cycle, and if so, what would you recommend? Are there routes I should
specifically avoid?
