E-bike tour Gallus Pedals - ASBS - Biking is such a great way to get to know a city, even though I live in Glasgow I saw places I would’ve never seen if it wasn’t for this bike tour. Martin was our tour guide, and he was amazing, as a Glaswegian he knows so much about the city. We went with the e-bikes, which made our lives a lot easier. The stop at the Clydeside distillery is really nice, the distillery has a great story and the whiskey itself is also pretty nice:) (Reviewed at: 2024-11-18)
