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.

From your description, it sounds as if the cycle lane markings are
indicating where you should *not* be cycling. Pictures???

Give me a day or 2 but I'll do some pictures. Its the usual depressing
stuff, however, the lane hard up against a row of parked cars.

You are absolutely correct, however, the lane marking are exactly where
you shouldn't be.

Cheers

That is so often the case. Is this route unavoidable? Where there is an
alternative I will usually go considerably out of my way to avoid
riding on a road with a cycle lane.
