"All cycle paths are made rubbish, basically. Show me one that aint! I'm serious. I can't think of one."
Goldsmith's Row is a pretty good example of a segregated cycle route that works, but note, its a former through-road which is now closed to motor traffic!!
also, for some cyclists (probably all those who cycle within it), the segregated lanes through the thin roads of Bloomsbury are probably for the best, as you get all sorts of motor traffic using what are quite narrow lanes,

Yep. This country can't even maintain the roads to a proper standard. Bike paths would have no chance.

My beef with the 'infrastructure' model is well illustrated by the 'what's missing from the idyllic artists' impression' essay above. No cycle infrastructure is as straightforward, as easy to use, direct, or unfrustrating as riding as other traffic, taking the lane. All cycle paths are made rubbish, basically. Show me one that aint! I'm serious. I can't think of one.
