In response to your article about the new Glasgow cycleways: why don't councils repair the roads and pavements we pay for first?

Repaint all road markings and make the roadways safe - then perhaps the kiddies in the council sand box can come out to play.

Priorities.

The Clyde Walkway shared cycle and pedestrian infrastructure is poorly designed.

I cycle over the new pedestrian bridge and use the north bank walkway twice a day - I go slow and use my bell to make sure nobody gets frightened out of their wits.

Is that the answer? Not really.

Segregation is usually the best way to keep cyclists and pedestrians safe. But segregation costs money.

Glasgow has too many 'shared use' cycle paths, which are poor for people on bikes and on foot.

Then there are the routes that cyclists share with buses and taxis - they're better than nothing, but they're intimidating for many cyclists.

The answer? Good, segregated routes that take people where they want to go - like the newly opened West Street/Scotland Street/Shields Road route.

It's extremely well used, and the kind of infrastructure that encourages people to get on their bikes - cutting pollution and congestion in the city.

There's already a city wide traffic free cycle network, it's called the pavement.

And it's brilliant if used responsibly.

You have got to put up with the odd greetin faced old aged pedestrian now and again but nothing in this world is perfect.

Of course it's not suitable for all those middle aged men in Lycra out there on their road bikes.

But it suits wee Franny Millar just fine.

Bonnybroom is a fantastic wee nursery and I'm so sad to read it has been vandalised again.

Why do people think it is ok to make a target of a nursery school where our youngest citizens go?

What pleasure do you get from taking things away from tots?

So sad that young people who probably went to Bonnybroom did this.

The poor wee ones didn't need this.
