The cycle superhighway along my part of the A10 is an ill thought out mess. Most of it is on the pavement (both lanes on the same side), and guess what. Pedestrians don’t give a damn and continue to stroll along it, meaning you have to cycle at a snail’s pace and may as well walk.
So I use the bus lanes on those parts, except they’re usually full of massive potholes for months.
Further along we get a lane on the road, except there are cars parked on it.
I’m not even sure if there’s a point to it. Just seems like a big gimmick. “Hey, look, we’re doing something!” I see a few bikes on the cycle lane, but most of us just use the bus lane anyway, and the adult-babies use the pavement on the other side of the road, because it’s too much trouble to use the cycle lane on the opposite side.
