Pictures: dumb cycle lanes
A great set of pictures of stupid cycle lanes, like the 15-mile cycle route alternative to a six-mile road journey, the cycle ride straight into a phone box, and this one from Middlesbrough:

I remember the fifteen-mile rides I used to do to my late Grandad's house in New Malden (back when I lived in Croydon) which used to involve riding up the footpath next to Reigate Avenue, near Sutton. I couldn't use the cycle lane because it was full of the locals' parked cars.
