(speaking as a pedestrian and occasional user of the hire bikes)
You do know that there is no law or rule that says that cyclists have to use cycle lanes, where provided, don't you?
Frequently, it's not safe or pleasant to use them (eg the lanes hold drains, broken glass, cars nosing out of side roads, parked cars or cars turning left, or they force you down the LHS of long vehicles - which is spectacularly dangerous).
