Absolutely. Big holes in roads, cycle friendly speed humps blocked by parked vehicles, and constantly having to take one's eyes off the road to read the many signs, does not make for sensible safe cycling or riding as recommended by advanced road use groups. Mr PR doesn't need cycle lanes and special attention, he just reads the map to work out how to get from A to B and if a particular route looks inappropriate for some reason he'll experiment on side roads. A big picture of a bicycle in a road does not make it a cycle safe lane.
