You push off from the kerb and the city opens: cobbles give way to broad riverside paths, sandstone facades slide past, and the Clyde dares you to look upstream. On a private bike tour through Glasgow, the city feels deliberately paced — you move with purpose, not rush, and the guide points out the jokes and rough edges as readily as the grand structures.
