Cycle journeys on the South West City Way: a descriptive analysis

The report considers usage of the South West City Way which provides cyclists with a link from Pollokshields in the south west of the city to the Tradeston (or Squiggly) Bridge over the Clyde, which leads to the city centre. 

Data from a cycle counter was available for this route from March to October 2016. The route appears to be used heavily for commuting purposes, and to be experiencing increasing use over time.
