As a car driver and occasional cyclist I can see both points of view. I can also only comment on the roads near where I live but there is a very well kept, well signposted and suitable cycle path along the A329 here near me. Yet cyclist continually insist of cycling on the dual carriageway slowing cars in the inside lane to a crawl or risking accidents by having to swerve into the other lane. It's ridiculous! It's a wonder there are not more accidents involving these cyclists who don't see or (I suspect) don't choose to use the cycle path. If it was poorly maintained, etc. fair enough but it isn't!
Rant over
