Another reason why I prefer cycling to work

Only if it's reported and gets dealt with correctly

Some councils will just remove the cycle path completely with so many complaints. Id only complain / ask for changes asking the right MP / organizion. Your local MP / council could be anti cycling.

Having a cycle path removed like the one in the video would put cyclist in more danger. Best having a poor cycle path that don't work correctly than to have no cycle path at all

I disagree. In this case, the crap cycle lane is worse than no cycle lane.

Looks like great fun but to somebody who sees little traffic on their commute it looks a tad busy for me

It's the bike or this.

Completely disagree.

That bit of paint on the road will be regarded by some motorists as the only part of the road for a cyclist to ride legitimately, and they will aggressively try to force cyclists to use it, even though it isn't safe.

Cycle lanes like that are made purely as box-ticking exercises (so the council can say, "Look, we've made X miles of cycle lanes"). They benefit no one, least of all cyclists.

Yep-had one this morning beeping at me and telling me to use the cycle lane. If I would have caught up with him I would have explained (amongst other things) that I think cycle lanes are a waste of road.
