It's probably the most "famous" cycle lane in the UK right now. It's also one of the most conspicuous. As such, when you don't use it, non cyclists are baffled. They are thinking all they ever here from cyclist is "segregation, we want segregation" (when actually, the debate amongst many cyclists is for the opposite). When they see a cyclist not using the thing they think they thought that cyclist wanted, it messes with their heads so they rant at you.
