COMMUNITY

"Many thanks to all those involved and those who voted for this location last year.

"The location was chosen as it sits along aside our free to use bicycle pump.

"Although this was vandalised earlier this month we hope to have its replacement operational shortly."

The 485 bikes and 43 stations are situated across the city, catering to locals as much as tourists.

Users release and pay for the bikes using a smartphone app.

The network has plans to expand across Glasgow, bringing the number of the bikes up to 1,000.
