If they really want to "go dutch" then the cycle path should be wide enough to comfortably overtake with enough room for error.
I don't want to be too negative - I'm glad TFL are doing something even though it always seems a bit shit, as it might be easier to get existing infrastructure improved than it is to get it installed in the first place - but when I watched that video all I could think about was the nice wide cycle paths in other countries. You know the ones where you see parents riding along with their little kids wobbling beside them.
I can't imagine anybody taking their kids for a fun little ride along CS2 or the Oval clusterfuck for myriad reasons, and the fact that the fully segregated bits (arguably supposed to be the most family-friendly sections) are so narrow and horrible is just depressing.

Christ, that is awful.
Not even enough space for peds near the bus stop.

Which translated into a normal lane that's a car width.
Only lane I like were the bus lane, before they allow taxis and motorcyclists on it.
