Edinburgh to Glasgow by E-Bike: 2 Ways to Turn a Cross-City Ride into a Tour

A ride between Edinburgh and Glasgow sounds, at first, like a matter of getting from one city to the other. On a bicycle, the choice of route changes the entire day. You could follow the canals through Linlithgow and Falkirk, stopping whenever a village or a view catches your attention. Or you could use National Cycle Network Route 75, moving between riverside paths, old railway lines, quieter roads and the towns of the Central Belt. Both are journeys between cities, yet they ask different thing

The other takes a little more thought. It follows quieter streets, avoids an awkward junction or adds a climb to reach a more pleasant stretch of road.For someone considering cycling to work, that extra distance can be enough to put the second option aside. A route might look inviting on a Sunday afternoon but feel less appea

Sigrid Rides: another cycling adventure with a cat

View Sigrid Rides on Amazon A man cycling with a cat might sound like a niche subject for a book, but it's one I've come across before. I previously read Nala's World by Dean Nicholson, the story of his remarkable journey around the world with Nala, a rescue cat he picked up in Bosnia. So when I discovered that someone else had written a book about cycling with a feline companion, I was curious to find out more.Sigrid Rides by Travis Nelson tells a different story. Rather t [...]

Cycling to the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse

I love visiting lighthouses and the one at the Mull of Galloway is special because it's at Scotland's most southerly point. This lighthouse is also open to visitors, which is not always possible at other lighthouses. Here, you can climb the lighthouse steps for spectacular views. You can also enjoy a refreshment in Scotland's most southerly cafe. Mull of Galloway is about 22 miles from Stranraer. Getting thereI did this as a day trip from Portpatrick, around 23 miles from t [...]

5 Top Cycling Spots in Europe

Image by Gianni Crestani from Pixabay Cycling in Europe can mean anything from a relaxed ride through vineyards to challenging climbs with a view at the top. There’s a rhythm to it that’s different from walking or driving, you notice the small towns, the way the light falls across old stone buildings, and the quiet streets before the tourists arrive. Europe’s variety means you can find routes for every mood and skill level. Some are coastal, others twist through moun [...]
