Absolutely, as they can and should. But not in those pictures, which show scenes that many facility-clingers would consider impossible to cycle in.

What the heck are those cyclists thinking, riding on the RH side of the RT/Straight lane while going straight? I expected to see another picture at the end of the post showing another bent bicycle with a sheet covering something that might be a dead cyclist.
Have these people never heard of the "right hook?"

See? The propaganda's getting to me, too. ;-)
The picture is of the street "Van Woustraat" in Amsterdam.
This is a picture of one block over with two dedicated cycle paths:

Call me a bigot, but it'll be a COLD DAY IN HELL before I voluntarily trust my life to anyone in a Mercedes.
That lot and the Japanese remain suspect in my book. At least the Italians had the good sense to switch sides early.
