I am so glad I don’t live where you do. Cyclists here are presumed to be reasonably wealthy, having the time to spend getting around our car based town at ~20km/h

So people behave a little better, police listen a bit more. Now I just wish they’d protect the main cycle route from my suburb cluster to the city centre with more than paint – that’s the sort of place where people don’t leave room, they presume they’ll be okay so long as they don’t cross the painted line
