This is my second year being involved with Sky Ride
and I just think it’s such a brilliant idea, it’s trying to get
as many people as possible up off their bottoms
and out cycling.
Really, really good actually, just, even
with the wee one, everyone was clapping her
cheering her along, you know, really, really good.
I think this is a great way to
get people back on their bikes.
It’s been so good because so many people
have come out and enjoyed themselves,
people of all ages, it’s just been brilliant.
It’s been a great day.
Yeah, it’s great,
anything to promote cycling it’s always a good thing.
Get the kids out and keep them fit.
And it’s easy and it’s true
that once you’ve learnt to cycle, you never forget it.
We’ve really, really enjoyed it, it’s our first time here.
Pretty short distance but good fun.
Nice family event.
I’ve been so impressed by the number of people
that came out today.
There’s been lots going on, lots for them to do,
you know, there’s been face painting for the kids,
entertainment, singing, acrobats,
all kinds of things going on,
and it’s just been a really lovely atmosphere.
It’s organising a lot more community involvement
and obviously it’s getting families together
and out on their bikes and all that so, it was good.
And also, I’ve really noticed this year
a lot more kids and a lot more
very, very young kids that are coming with their parents.
You know, maybe taking a wee while to do the route
but really enjoying it.
If it wasn’t for an event like this
you wouldn’t see half the people out on a Sunday.
Do you know, I think in the future, it’s just going to get bigger
and better than ever as more and more people
hear about it and more and more people want to join in.
You know, and hopefully we’ll get to that million,
you know a million people cycling
that weren’t cycling before
and that’s the big aim and I think that’s really achievable.
Just to go out, just go out
and discover how fun it is.
Once again maybe,
when you did cycle as a kid
or if you haven’t cycled before, then try it
and you will feel how nice a feeling it is to actually enjoy it.
A good fun day out.
So you know, I’d love to see you here next year
So hopefully, you know, get on your bike and just enjoy it.
[cheering] Sky Ride Glasgow!
