Parchment must wear out quickly, but I guess if they make paper walls, why not cycle lanes?

Parchment cycle lanes are very thin on the ground, even in Japan

Background:

The real issue is; who's going to look after it?
It's a hugely overlooked aspect of cycle lane/path that others countries spend their resource on proper maintenance of the cycle path (Copenhagen's snow sweeper that clear the path for the commuter fir example).
Like Milton Keynes' cycle path, they build it, and then ignored it, expecting it to be self sufficient while it's covered with broken glasses and debris.
true. rode a few miles of it recently, its still the same surface as when built, ripped up by tree roots and worn out cracked and life expired in many places

This is what happened when one tried to multitask and failed to spell check before posting :-( ... what I meant was pavement. PAVEMENT!!!

Walls made from pavement? It'll never catch on.

Elsewhere in the Mail, women are causing huge problems by daring to have children, and in the process are destroying the NHS. Turns out it's not the paper's favourite government who are ruining the health service, but female doctors:

There will be no ripples at all across global markets in the aftermath of the US Federal Reserve "taper", as cheap cash injections start to be trimmed back - and will eventually end, probably next year. Emerging economies in particular will weather the departure of cash with nary a flutter. This is because countries around the world heard the warning shot from Chairman Ben Bernanke back in May and prepared their economies accordingly for when it finally happened in December. The so-called Fragile Five of Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa, and Turkey have prepared for the inevitable end of the era of cheap money and adjusted well. Plus, they all have elections in 2014 that will probably proceed smoothly - no surprises, only seamless successions.
Obviously predictions can >>>>>> anyway, but I genuinely can't tell if this is serious, or an audition for the Now Show?

I should have probably expend that, I don't mean the the current standard in London. I also read the comments below the article and some mentioned EU countries and the better cycle lanes or whatnot. I meant those, not the sodding half a meter wide cycle lane in London.
We should do what Japan do, last I went, parchment = cycle lane! And Japanese actually make way for you if you ring your bell. My very limited experience reflects this. Welcome to tell me I am wrong. :-D
