In my experience there is a fairly tight correlation between the amount of lycra worn by a cyclist, and the degree to which he is an arrogant, contrarian twit who will avoid a cycleway simply on the principle that it has been put there in order to get him off a main road he is nevertheless legally entitled to use.

If the lycra is adorned with the name of a local cycling club, then it's all the worse - you are effectively asking that person to get out of the way of motorised traffic, and it's like waving a red rag at a bull.
