Rant thread: If we support any segregated cycle infrastructure, will cyclists be banned from the roads?

This thread has been created in response to one member who has been posting on threads which have discussed cycling infrastructure - not just segregated infrastructure, but things like putting up signposts to show quiet streets to cycle on:

"What this means is "Keep asking for dedicated cycle routes off road, and eventually, cyclists will be expected to be 'off road' and criticised/abused if they dare get in the way of motorcars."

I am one cyclist who will continue to exercise my Council Tax paying right to ride my bicycle on the road.

Some day in the future, you will thank me for preserving the rights of cyclists to use A, B and minor roads. :-)"

So, at the time of writing and to the best of my knowledge, no contributor on Birmingham Cyclist has:

(1) Suggested that cyclists should be restricted to segregated facilities.

(2) Suggested that segregated facilities are the answer for all situations.

Also, as far as I am aware, all contributors on Birmingham Cyclist would:

(1) Oppose any attempt to remove cyclists' right to ride on any road.

(2) Oppose any argument that cyclists should get out of the way of motorcars (apart from one notable exception who was banned for other reasons)

There is no reason, that I can see, to dogmatically oppose any and all suggestions that a piece of segregated cycling infrastructure might be useful in a particular location.

Ok. Rant thread created - I'll link back to here in the future.

Also, this thread is marked as 'Off Topic' to keep it out of sight.
