Good cycle lanes?

There is a small section of on road cycle lane just over the north side of Blackfriars bridge that has a steep kerb (and railings too I think) which feels very safe and perfect for cyclists.
I also read there may be a section like this going over Southwark Bridge.
What do people feel about these? Are they the way forward for cycling in London? etc etc

Creates a real "them and us" atmosphere in both camps.
I'm getting quite militant about this recently, I think cycle lanes could be the death of cycling in london and I wish people would stop bigging them up.
I'd rather see less of them than more of them.
I don't mind pictograms of cycles on the road to remind people in cars that cyclists are about, but cycle lanes, no, no no no no.
I consider the section where I am most of risk is the Hyde Park cycle lanes.
As was once said on The Old Forum - there is already a well developed network of cyclelanes called 'roads'.
PRIMARY POSITION! ALWAYS!

What about other cities like Copenhagen and Amdam? They are cycling cities and have segregated lanes.
Bikes and other vehicles dont seem to mix very well as everyone wants to claim their space?
What say you?
otherwise, they're really bad, mmmkay?
This is always worth a click through.

What about the occasions when the traffic is crawling along at 10 mph or not moving at all, isn't it nice to have a cycle lane then? Or do you like weaving in and out of cars, then giving up and cycling on the pavement? :oops:
