This week something great happened. A gob somewhere said something and a bunch of gobs elsewhere did stuff as a result. Action happened! And Bike Gob hopes that it will have added to the growing shouts that things have to get better.

On Monday, Helmet 'Cam'paigner Magnatom mused on twitter "Hmm. I think we need a 'Glasgow Cycle Infrastructure Day'. One day when everyone takes videos, photos etc of crap Glasgow lanes. Hmm....." Other gobs said yeah, Bike Gob said let's do it, Magnatom said Thursday, Bike Gob said do a hashtag, Magnatom said he'd write a blog, and on Thursday, gobs all around Glasgow fecking well did it. A massive picture of the pitfalls of our award winning cycling infrastructure was created for us to prove to the power gobs that they need to pull their fingers out before that cycling award they seem so proud of can be deserved.

Bike Gob has a recap of the day's evidence gathered for you here and will illustrate it in the form of a three of a kind bingo game inspired by the response to this:
