There is a cycle path that runs along side the road for several miles too, but a lot of them don't use it.
I couldn't have put it any better if I tried.Believe you've summed up the essence of this, and most driver/rider/walker problems in a nutshell Count. You maintain a ' sense of responsibility ' ; many prefer to exercise a ' sense of entitlement ' . No way to legislate human nature.

The Left has been trying to do that for decades!

Chaps can we keep NSFW in the NSFW thread? I don't want to appear fussy but I work in a place where young women walk past my desk, I'm 51 the youngest women who works here is 24 and I've worked with her since she was 16; I'm really not up for her seeing smut on my screen, it makes me feel like some sort of creepy old man.
There's a possible explanation for that ........ I base it on my personal experience of urban 'bike lanes'; more specifically, those along the route of my daily commute. The lanes in question are either painted into the road or run parallel to the road, with entry and exit points at junctions. The reason I personally won't ride in or on them, is that they represent the absolutely worst kept part of the road surface. Practically every bit of debris .... glass, road shrapnel, nuts and bolts from passing bangers ...... gets kicked outwards and into these lanes. Not only are you riding on a road surface that feels like corrugated iron on tires pumped up to 110psi, making every tooth rattle, but you're also hoping said tires don't end up looking like something out of Mad Max after running through all the debris that lives there.
Bike lanes are a good idea ....... I just find it safer not to use them.
