Parallel with and about ten feet from the carraigeway. When I've mentioned this before, the bikers reckon its not used because it has give way lines where side roads cross it at junctions, while the main carraigeway has ROW by default. Oh, and apparently cycle paths might have broken glass or other debris on them. So the cyclist ignores the expensive lane provided for his exclusive use and instead holds up traffic thats going faster than him.
