What a nice surprise - a traffic free green lung from Dumbarton into Scotland's biggest city. Wonderful.

Shame the first part from helensburgh to Dumbarton isn't fit for cycling yet. There's a footpath that needs paving and widening.

Said hello to John Logie Baird on the waterfront in Helensburgh and thanked him for inventing telly so we could have Wacaday.
