No?

I'm Scandinavian and we have them all over the place. They're fantastic. Also look at Berlin - double lanes on each side of the road...doesn't get better.

I dunno, it just seems that the UK is unwilling to look to other countries with better safety laws /records.

Germany and Scandinavia are both underpopulated and have loads of space.

London however is one of the busiest places in the world. With the state of congestion , cycles are already easily the most effective means of transport. And if riders just have a little patience, most accidents could easily be avoided.

Cycle lanes do not equal safety, all traffic being aware and cautious of each other does.
