I have to qualify this slightly. I watched the video in a higher resolution yesterday and what I thought was just a visual narrowing of the carriageway on the approaches is actually cobbled setts which are very poor for cycling. Obviously, cycling isn't a mode that wouldn't have been considered prominently there, but that's no excuse. There appears to be no way for cyclists of passing queues within the lane without having to ride over those cobbles. Chances are that with traffic flowing more freely they might not have to wait that long, but it's still a poorly-thought out detail.
