Millions spent on cycle lanes and eveymorning I'm stuck behind cyclists on the main road looking at the empty cycle lane beside them

Could be worse. They could all be in a car, clogging up the roads even more.

The problem with cycle lanes is the amount of debris they collect that results in punctures

A lot of cycle lanes have broken lines painted, meaning other vehicles use them too. Whilst money has been invested, their implementation and maintenance has frequently been very poor, so it discourages use as a total cycling route solution.

Near to me, many have cars parked in them, which is legal but dangerous

They dont have to use the lanes. I feel safer on the roads most times; easier contending with cars and trucks as opposed to pedestrians and other cyclists that are all over the place on what is essentially a pavement divided in two.

The cycle lanes here are a whole car lane they've closed off for cyclists.... Lots more traffic at a standstill and one completely empty lane

I used to have a hatred for cyclists until I talked to a few. The cycle paths

are not fit for purpose, that is why you see cyclists on the roads

The cycle paths here are in a poor state , people walk in them , park cars in them .

The surfaces on the main routes are potted and poorly maintained . On a racing bike they are lethal .

I ride on the road , I pay my road tax , so I can use them .

Most drivers are very curtious some are not .

Let's face it traffic goes so slow through towns any way . Town planners have shoe horned cycle lanes in on roads . They should have been planned for in the first place

Footpaths, busy "A" roads, pedestrian precincts are the domain of cyclists so get out of their way! Cycle paths created for cyclist they ignore! Very annoying!

Correct. Broke glass, Thorns from the overgrown bushes, dog poo, vomit. Also pedestrians wandering around in another world, and other fucking cyclists of course.

To be fair if they used them then they couldn't play the narcissistic cunt and irritate the people paying for the roads via road tax if they did use them.

Imagine if all the cyclists in the country, suddenly stopped using them and used cars instead. Your journey would probably take longer than the perceived delays cyclists cause you now.

Chill out and just get on with your journey. Hold ups of all kinds are inevitable.

Because I can't do 30 to 40 mph on them, without hitting pedestrians. They do offer a soft landing though, so I think I might start using them a bit more.

Nobody pays road tax and paying vehicle excise duty doesn’t give you a right to use the roads anyway as the tax collected just goes into the government pot!

Road fund license or VED is based on emissions and as non polluters cyclists wouldn’t pay anything anyway.

Most cycle lanes are very badly designed, squeezed in because they have to be, some are more dangerous than being on the road. Also as people have already mentioned they’re badly maintained, covered in gravel and broken glass and quite often shared with pedestrians etc.

Also, it is recommended, that if a cyclist is travelling at a greater speed than 18 mph to use the road. I average about that so am quite often over 20 mph and up to 45 mph. I’m not sure who recommends it, I guess the Highway Code. Give us useable cycle lanes and we will use them as we would much prefer to be away from the traffic!

Correct... Nobody has paid road tax since 1937 and your vehicle tax does not pay for the roads...

Cycle paths in Birmingham are an utter joke.

More often than not they're just footpaths halved in two and painted

Dropped kerbs; street furniture in the middle of the path; terrible surfaces; no rights of way or priority..... I could go on ....

Many cycle lanes on roads are potholed, broken personhole covers and drains, vehicles encroaching.

They're bloody dangerous
