The bottom line is simple. Cyclists and cars *don't mix*ยท (In fact
cyclists and all other forms of road user don't mix) Anyone who thinks
it's a good idea to have road traffic with a speed differential in
excess of 30mph mixing it up is a ****ing idiot.
Quite aside from the fact that the kerbside of most urban roads is so
cratered it's impossible to ride a bike there, even if you wanted.
I noticed with interest in Almeria, Spain (can't speak for the rest)
that the main (new) coastal road had been built with the cycle path
separated from the road by a few metres. I the reflected on the fact
that the UK probably paid for it ....
And when we build them in the UK most lycra louts wont use them. Most
of them don't use this one

Is that a dedicated cycle lane ?
Sorry, the Spanish have the right idea
data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sqo1jZXCm-GB4tEch92kvgA!2e0!6m1!1e1
So theirs is two empty lanes instead of one. BFD.
Now explain where the cycle lane is going to go in this instance:
/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1suIeBe0J07Wdo8iakAiQXRg!2e0
If the URL worked I might try.
