Milngavie / bearsden for a sensible answer
Bearsden or Milngavie with the good people
What's your budget, when i worked in Glasgow the wife worked in Clydebank, we lived in Bearsden, which was a nice area, close to Mugdock and the likes and also transport into Glasgow and so on.
What are you after as well, near the city, or in the country, the likes of Dumbarton, etc are a bit far out of the city, Old Kilpatrick was popular at the time for those wanting to be out of the city, but close enough for nights out and stuff.
i have a mate in Killearn. only been once. it was ok.
is that too far ?

That's not a good area if you're commuting, bottleneck roads and snow/ice can stop traffic in the winter easily, we had thoughts of Drymen and the surrounding areas like Killearn, then went and had a look, asked around and settled on Bearsden for ease of travel and being in actual civilisation ;o)
Bishopton, if you drive?
Clydebank.
Traffic in and out of Clydebank can be a bit of a bastard at peak times.
Drum-chap-pell of course! I’ve heard it’s now an upcoming area and a few stops on the bus fae the Bankies 🤪
Renfrew, at least I did when I served my time in Broons. cycle down to the ferry and down to Clydebank, Also stayed in Erskine but your needs /wants are a bit vague

It's surely only a matter of time before the westward march of gentrification reaches the Drum. I've got high hopes for Dalmuir being a cultural hotpsot soon...
Johnstone of course 🙂
I spent the first couple of days of my life there. That was nearly 60 years ago. Have never felt the desire to return.
In reply to the OP, almost anywhere other than Clydebank. Milngavie (once you learn to pronounce it) is nice. Helensburgh too and Cardross. On the other side of the river the nice villages of Langbank and Kilmacolm probably just make it into the half hour category. Or Brookfield.

And the bad traffic...
Thanks for the replies. Looking more for countryside location than city.
We live under the Campsites, Strathblane/Lennoxtown/MofC would all just about work
Country living - Cardross. Village feel but easy commute by car or train to Clydebank. Wouldn't fancy biking it though as the main Cardross - Dumbarton Road is narrow and busy at peak times.
Supermarket 10m by car either direction Helensbugh or Dumbarton.

I too spent the first 21 years of my life there. Escaped to Stirling Uni halls for a year and never returned. Zero desire to! Formative years MTBing at Glennifer Braes and hanging around Dooleys Cycles though.
Cardross is pretty nice, nearly moved there myself. The A814 definitely isn't a nice road to ride along, the train is very handy though. It's just a wee bit away from being central though, this irked me a bit when I stayed in Helensburgh but might not bother you

South of the river then. Everywhere north of the river, within your criteria can be hellish for traffic. Either 1 road in and out (Dumbarton and everything west of it. Lennoxtown/Blanefield etc too.) Or just busy (Milngavie and Bearsden)
What about Houston, Bridge of Weir or Langbank? My commute (when I did it) takes me in that direction and it's the easisest commute I've ever done. For context, I live in Clydebank, and have somehow survived, which might surprise some of the posters on here.
Bearsden/Milngavie - handy for Clydebank, the city centre and the countryside. And of course the friendly riding community 🙂
I’ve got high hopes for Dalmuir being a cultural hotpsot soon…
Can't wait till the hipsters shift into Mountblow.
