Freewheel North has a programme of guided bike rides and bikes to buy, borrow or rent. There is a bike workshop offering on-the-spot patches and fixes as well as a more in-depth repair service. The plans for the building include regeneration with natural materials, solar panels and an innovative water source heat pump.

The Claypits Local Nature Reserve

Highlight • Trail

Just one mile from the hustle and bustle of the city centre lies the green space of Glasgow’s only inner-city Local Nature Reserve – The Claypits.

Originally the home of a clay quarry used when the Forth & Clyde Canal was first built in the late 1700s, it was also the site of a foundry, glassworks and boat-building yard. These industries are long gone but the historic canal buildings, the oldest in Scotland, still dot the banks.

Emmaus Community Building

Highlight • Rest Area

This project was designed with the local community and is the first Scottish building for the organisation which assists homeless people. There are 24 bedsits and supporting facilities including a workshop, cafe and kitchen. The 1960s church hall on the site was renovated to create the workshop and waste wood fuels a biomass boiler.

Speirs Wharf

Highlight • Structure

Speirs Wharf is a Glasgow city landmark on the Forth and Clyde Canal. The buildings here were built in 1851 as grain mills, storage & the offices of the Forth & Clyde Navigation Co. They were converted into apartments and retail space in 1989.
Today it's a trendy place with a nice cafe and leisure facilities. The canal is a good place to run, and this is a good stop if your running from the city centre or back into town.
