The problem with dedicated cycle lanes or spaces it that they're unlikely to cover someone's entire journey. It ends up with cyclists mixing it on the roads with even less experience of riding in traffic, or with people riding on pavements.
I'd love a utopia where a cities traffic was re-designed around supporting the most vulnerable user. Peds->Cyclists->Cars->Lorries etc.
However that's not going to happen in either the immediate or distant future. Skydancer has it about right for what a realistic solution could be,
