  •   My own opposition to cycle lanes or paths, or super-highways, as the  Mayor of London likes to call them, is [a matter of record](http://bit.ly/2ye8yZ)
    

    I think there's a high barrier to having a really good cycle path network. Until last year, I'd have been totally in agreement with you, but spending a few months in Copenhagen has changed my mind somewhat.

    When a separated network of cycle paths has its own prioritised traffic signals, right-of-way, and sufficient size to be useful, it's great. The Copenhagen method is a volte-face from the British one: motor vehicles are put into a narrow lane on the side of the street and given the lowest priority.

    I still get a bleak chuckle from the fact that a "Cycling Superhighway" is narrower and more pointless than a regular Danish bike lane that you'd find on any street.
