    I think I see the problem now. It's the lycra. Yer all there zipping around at 45kph like speedy gonzalies. Completely unnecessary. If ye cycle at 10 to 15 kph like you're meant to the cycle lanes wouldn't be dangerous. Any lane will be dangerous at 45kph no matter how much designed.

    If I wanted to commute at 15 kph I would take the car..

    We'll never have a bicycle culture with that attitude. I don't think anyone should have a racer bicycle on the roads. It's like having an F1 car. There's some nice old fashioned hipster bikes with baskets that are nice. People could cycle to shops and put bread in the baskets and it's all relaxing and everyone is happy.
    I don't get why people need to act like an F1 driver when they get a bike.

    Listen you Battered mars bar, we cyclists will never give up, we fought the British and won!!

    Cyclists are too slow......cyclists are too fast. No pleasing some groups of people.

    But this is my point. Don't you think in densely populated areas we need to take it slow. And by taking it slow the cycle lanes are more usable?

    OP your question has been answered

    Should you venture over here again I would recommend reading the forum charter first, as you will not be given the benefit of any doubt next time

    Thanks
