Agree with that. In some places separate places for different modes is a good intervention that may make cycling easier for some.
I suppose the issue is that some of these people think that only segregation is what it will take, and no other things ... such as training and education, driver culture change through law and enforcement, shared space, filtered permeable networks, lower speeds etc.... will get mass cycling. The truth is we need as many of these things, all of them have a place in ending the hegemony of the car driver.
It's a slow process yet change is possible and hackney is a good example of this work in progress
