According to the National Travel Attitudes Study (NTAS), which collected responses from 2,011 individuals aged 16 and over in England and was published yesterday by the government, general safety concerns were also cited as the primary reason for discouraging cycling, along with poor
weather and travel distances.
However, when asked if they would be more likely to cycle, or cycle more,
if new bike lanes were introduced in their area, only 29 per cent of respondents claimed that building new infrastructure would make them more likely to ride a bike, compared to 44 per cent who reckoned such an outcome would be unlikely (while 11 per cent, notably, believe that their area already has enough cycle lanes).

Entry to and exit from bike lanes are particularly dangerous.

Here in the UK ‘Entering road from the pavement’ is No. 5 in the official data on the causes of cyclist deaths.
Incidentally, it is quite unusual to have a decent discussion of cycling topics in this cycling newsgroup.

That latter point is true enough. Peter is always a good contributor.
My feeling is that so called "cycle lanes" are not even meant to help.
Their purpose is to hinder and obstruct.
