Cyclists in bicycle lanes

From 1 January 2015, a cyclist will be able to choose whether or not they wish to ride in a bicycle lane where one is provided. The lane is there if they wish to use it but they will not be obliged to use it.

This change is consistent with the rules for other special purpose lanes (for example, buses do not have to use bus lanes and drivers do not have to use transit lanes). It will take away an unnecessary limitation on cyclists using the road as legitimate road users.

I think cyclists don't like cycle ways for the same reason motorists don't like cyclists on the road, hate getting held up by someone or something going slower than themselves. Me and the wife once hired one of those two person pedal power car type things in centtenial park in sydney, popular place for cyclists, in the 1 hour that we hired the thing about 2 cyclists had abused us and another cyclist overtaking us was abused by a faster cyclist.
