Understandable. The existence of cycling infrastructure means that many other road users are unwilling to share road space with cyclists though.
Evidenced by all the folks who don't understand Highway Code rule 61
While such facilities are provided for reasons of safety, cyclists may exercise their judgement and are not obliged to use them.

Yeah for a long time I was anti segregated lanes for exactly this reason as I was skeptical they would see any meaningful use.
I've been pleasantly surprised by the uptake in London, but that still leaves outliers of appalling design, like the run all the way to Stratford which loops through the pavement behind every bus stop

^ For the most part I would rather deal with (mostly) predictable risk sharing the road rather than a lot of cycle lanes.
