Some lanes have raised kerbs and are only wide enough for cycles, but those shaded areas that form part of the road sem only a suggested route for bikes, not an enforcable lane.
There is an offence but only where you cross a solid line (mandatory cycle lane) in hours of operation.
So to filter down a broken lined cycle lane is legal? I am just checking as I do this every day on my commute (or not depending on the answer)
I'm going to show how obviously I'm not a cyclist by this remark, but I found it illuminating that the Cambridge Cyclists chose to point out that the mandatory applies only to motorists, not to Cyclists.
