I think that a lot of the problem is actually caused by cycle lanes, it makes both cyclists and motorists feel that bikes are not traffic and different rules apply; lets flood the roads with bikes and let the cars get used to it. Everytime a motorist demands that I get off the road and on toa cycle path I let them know that I ride a road bike, the clue is in the name, the flip side of this is that I always stop at red lights etc because its my road too.
