You can argue all you like for it, but show us how it would actually work! Unless you put cycle lanes in the outside lane and completely reverse all current engineering and infrastructure.
The problem at the moment is at every side road the segregated lane becomes the minor road and cedes priority to the left turning vehicle.
As more people take to the roads on bikes it becomes increasingly appealing. There is a perception of risk that does not tally with the reality. People like you continually stress how dangerous cycling is which has a detrimental impact on people taking to bikes.
Funnily a friend just got back from Holland and was complaining about how riding in the cities was constant stop start, slow and very frustrating.
