The road looks much safer (for everyone) to me.
I realise theres a big thing about 'perceived safety' being important in getting people onto their bikes, but there are other ways to convince people that they are safe, without conning them into being out of sight and out of mind. How a person cant see that this is for the benefit of drivers more than cyclists is beyond me.
I'd much rather see more cycling proficiency, better legislation against bad driving, and better junction design before I see any more of those stupid segregated paths.
