  What I personally hate most about poorly thought out bicycle
facilities, is that drivers then ask (justifiably so, imho), why you
aren't using them. Of course by 'ask', I mean anything from a
bewildered look to outright abuse and trying to force you off the
road.

painted lines under kerbside parking, paths that cross busy roads at
ill-thought out intersections and the like to yourselves)
