"Before you can answer the question: "Can you cycle easily along the superhighway?" you need to negotiate another: "Can you even pull out into it?"
...used by all With congestion at its height, there are lorries, buses, cars, vans and motorbikes everywhere, across both lanes of this main road, blocking the flash new textured surface on the left hand side. "

When I read this I assumed it would be only for the exclusive use of cycles, like the northern cycle paths in Edinburgh where the circlular rail line used to go. This is just another colour cycle lane, and not much use when blocked by stationary motor vehicals....
So if I replace my red network cable with a blue one will ie become a Super Highway network?

I still think the Dutch have a better system. Their's is besopke (no pun intended), rather than our selotape solution.
[A separate cycle lane embedded in the wider paths and cycles right of way over motor traffic on junctions]
