I support the aim of encouraging cycle use, but would like to point out some of the weaknesses of current cycle tracks.
1)The ones which are merely designated by paint lines on roads are too narrow encouraging drivers to pass even more closely than usual, and they often end suddenly.
2)Those on pavements cross people`s drives but do not have dotted lines asking them to stop before the cycle track so they drive out too fast to stop if a cyclist is passing.
3)Those on pavements often are on a blind bend where they are about to cross a junction.
