I would love if they were more direct as well, but many people are willing to trade off directness for the perceived safety of separated bicycle routes. (Not to mention that it can be much more pleasant than riding along traffic.)<br /><br />I commute along bike paths and being able to was a big factor for me in taking up cycling. I don't mind riding on the on-road cycle lanes occasionally, but I understand why they are off-limits for many would-be cyclists.
