Life-lines are those small train lines that I often take to skip me through the city's otherwise congested environment. Like this, and by effectively using the train as a catapult, I can still live near the centre of the city and yet 'be in the country' by cutting out the city via the train. Bike + train = brain, after all. And with a massive rail network and city bikes freely available all over the city there is simply no excuse for Glaswegians for not going into the hills. Truth is that most of them are still in a state of mesmerism and psychosis induced in early infancy. But the hills can help get rid of that. So, get your bike, find a train, reconnect your brain to your backbone, and get into those blissful hills.
Below are just five 'life-lines' (all separate train lines) that I have taken this past week and which cut out a significant part of 'city', depositing you more often than not at the bottom of the braes. Like this, you can live in the city and live in the country at the same time!
1. Partick to Kilpatrick
2. Partick to Milngavie
3. Pollokshaws West to Barrhead
4. Maxwell Park to Newton
5. Dumbreck to Paisley Canal
