The biggest issues really is that so far, the UK produce some extraordinary shameful design that put people more at risk.
I remember when CS7 was made, and it end up being riskier (I even documented lots of skids mark near junction).
If I ride on the road that happen to put me outside the cycle lane, I get punished by drivers who think it's against the law for not being on it.
If I ride in the cycle lane, I am severely less visible and still get exposed to a lots of poor manoverve, from driver pulling out, performing left hook, and worse, being crushed between the vehicle and the kerbs because the drivers didn't bother to check properly.

Yes but this isn't about "cyclists", it's about all the people who aren't currently cycling, but could and would if it was safe to.
In other countries it's quite normal for kids to ride to school.
It could be here as well...
