Yeah it gets pretty bad how the cycle lane is ignored and buses stop immediately after and delivery vans stop on it. I ride where the scooters and motorbikes ride on Shaftesbury Avenue. It gives me a little more wiggle room but don't do it if you don't feel decisive because you need to either sometimes accelerate or stop depending on the obstacles ahead. But I find when I ride it I usually feel safer there in the morning and evening.
