One way streets safe for cyclists to go down which are wide enough and there are signs pointing out that cyclists can use it should be no problem, it is a constructive law, such as cycle path/footpath combinations.
I never said safety should never be compromised also, I said in more basic terms that safety should come before how fast it takes to get to a destination, you should not compromise that, e.g. if you are running late for work, taking a dangerous back-alley route as a one off shouldn't be considered. Always take the SAFER route (notice I did not use the word safe). Safety still comes first; it is better to be slightly late then to risk not turning up at all, a half-decent boss would understand that.
But I agree with your statement of safety always being a compromise.
Thanks for the links too :)
