Even where dedicated bike lanes exist, by law the riders must still give way to left turning traffic.
There is no winner in this behavior pattern.

No system will work because cyclists are just lycra wearing ar$holes.

Thats fine, but people will always make mistakes.
Not all bike paths are on roads or intersect with them, but I still see cyclists opting to use the road, rather than the bicycle lane.

I realise that, I have friends who ride and they tell me riding in the bike lanes is poison due to punctures. They all want to ride out on the road. But around my area the street sweepers come by at least twice a week in the treadly season for this very reason. I pay through my rates to keep the streets clean for cyclists who visit the suburb for a few minutes once or twice a week, yet they still ride on the road sometimes two or three abreast blocking the left hand lane leaving the bike lane vacant.
