    Dear All,

    I have some serious safety concerns regarding the newly implemented
    cycle lanes on Kilmarnock Road in Glasgow, which is on a route I
    frequently use. As you may expect it is inadequate. I have draughted a
    letter for the council expressing my concerns. Can you folk be good
    enough to help as follows.

    Are they anything like these:-

    (It's a link to a google maps satellite view of Sheen Road in SW
    London). Cycle lanes going outside designated car parking spaces.

    I checked the area you describe and the satellite photos on google
    aren't recent enough to show them.

    Reminds me to go and take a photo of my latest favourite cycle path...

    Yeuch - that cycle lane going straight across the end of Peldon Court
    looks dodgy. It looks as if cyclists have right of way - is that the
    case in intention and practice?

    (Never mind the car door danger zone problem! Still, another box ticked
    in the councils "cycling facility" forms.)

    Very similar but without the pink top. In the top left of the view you
    can also see how they have brought the give-way lines forward on the
    side road junction.
