Please keep up, thanks.


And separated by a white line is not 'segregated', it's only got a white
line, not a kerb or pavement or patch of grass that physically separates
cycists from drivers.


Perhaps you should inform the DfT of their error:

When using segregated tracks you MUST keep to the side intended for
cyclists as the pedestrian side remains a pavement or footpath.

Please keep up, thanks.

The conversation was about the white lane segregating cyclists from
cars, not cyclists from pedestrians. Please keep up! But of course you
have your own agenda, as ever.
