Whether it be from a talk show ranter on Talk Radio, GB News or Jeremy Clarkson, you've probably heard the 'why's that cycle lane empty?' one before..

This video from Belgium attempts to address that often heard line, the poster suggesting: "Cycle lanes aren't empty — they're just efficient.

Exam season is over, but we've got a late five-mark tester for you... take those 30 people on bikes and 12 pedestrians and put them in a car on their own, how much longer would the queue be? A fair bit longer for those who need to drive a vehicle to get around, I'd assume.

Not everyone would be passing this test, mind...

Alternatively, if debating fails, just whip out this video, or the many we've shared in recent times, of what proper safe segregated cycling infrastructure can achieve..

They're "empty" as they've all been and gone!

"Cycle lanes aren't empty — they're just efficient"

One moving cyclist is better than a thousand queueing cars.

QUITE.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after.
