I think lcc has lost the plot - all this stuff about segregation is a waste of time, money and energy. I don't want cycle lanes, I want SOME GOOD PR for cycling that means drivers give us more room, don't speed, understand that we pay 'road tax' too ...
Segregated cycle paths help make inner city streets with high traffic densities safer for cyclists, and encourage people to ride bikes. Having lived for several years in Copenhagen, and many years ago in Amsterdam, I fully support LCC's Go Dutch campaign. LCC wouldn't be running this campaign if our research did not support the arguments in favour of segregated cycle paths on busy urban roads, or the idea command support from those who would benefit most from such paths. From the less experienced cyclists who come on my Dog & Bell Crew rides – those who are not yet LCC members, or have only recently joined – I often get comments about the need for physical barriers between cyclists and motor traffic on the busier London roads.
