   << the reason is crystal clear in the article. Not enough (none to a decent approximation) policing when drivers abuse the cycling infrastructure.

   Cycling Infrastructure is not safe if delivery vans park in it at commuting times, and cars stop in it whenever they want.

     @kasilas I'm glad they mention cycle parking at rail stations. My local Dart station could probably accomodate half a dozen bikes. The only message that sends is, "We do not want people to bike to the train."

     @annika the reason for these obvious oversights is that alot of people making the infrastructure decisions don't cycle at all. Hence, they simply don't see the easy calls, or the user problems with the current infrastructure.
