Tell someone who's new to cycling that "it's okay except I nearly get hit once a week by some numpty" and they're not gonna be too likely to mix it up with the cars.
Segregated paths in NL work because they go EVERYWHERE and are well signed.
Over here, they are behind schedule on building the existing paths, let alone the new ones they're talking about.
I don't want segregated paths, personally, but if they got more people on bikes, that means less cars in the capital. I so want less cars in the capital.
How about getting rid of all the stupid on-road parking on popular cycle routes? Make all those 'advisory' bike lanes enforceable and, shock horror, actually enforce them? It'd be nice if I only had to worry about the numptys driving alongside rather than the numptys swinging open doors as well.
