Convoy of Shawlands primary children ‘have as much right to be on the road as cars’, say parents
With a jingle of bells and a blur of hi-vis jackets, the colourful convoy of children and parents crosses a busy junction on Glasgow’s southside on their way to primary school.
It’s Friday morning, and the weekly Shawlands bike bus is using a new wireless remote control to pause the peak morning traffic at Shawlands Cross for long enough to allow the 50 or so cyclists to navigate the junction together in safety.
