Welcome to my wee photoblog on Glasgow, where we feature the  joys and unjoys of walking and cycling through a fascinating, beautiful and often badly run city. For the blog's origin and a a list of all posts see the  'Introduction' post  -

Today is Saturday, 24 September 2011, and we are heading down to the Riverside Museum to see a show by Danny MacAskill and his team of stunt cyclists. See

From the website -

'Stunt cycling sensation Danny MacAskill and Scotland’s number one stunt cycling team, The Clan will perform spectacular moves in a one-off performance at Glasgow’s new Riverside Museum.

YouTube phenomenon Danny will take centre stage with a stunning solo showcase of incredible feats on two wheels, followed by a Q&A session.

Danny rose to fame in 2009 when he released a five-and-a-half-minute street trials video filmed by his flatmate. Overnight, the film got several hundred thousand views and as of today has been watched well over 20 million times.

Visit www.dannymacaskill.co.uk for more details.'

We're down at the mouth of the river Kelvin - railway bridge there. . .
