If you cant keep your bike straight enough and stay in the cycle lane? You shouldnt be on one.
That's not a cycle lane – it's too narrow. That white line marks the edge of the usable carriageway: everything to the left of it is the unswept gutter into which no wheel should venture.

Screw you Mikey
I have been on a few roads with dangerously narrow cycle lanes on it, I ignore the lanes too and use the main road
Joke of a cycle lane
That's not a cycle lane, it's the gutter. Clearly designed by someone who doesn't want bikes on the road.
That's one of the worst I've seen, where is it?
A lot of bike lanes in Greater Manchester have been converted, over the last year or so – adding actual separation. It's much better than it used to be, especially in the central areas where there's shiloads of students on bikes, e.g. Oxford Road. Over a million a year.

I wholly agree. I am a life long cyclist and used to tear around on a very fast Raleigh road ace 12 when I was in 6th form. Cyclist needs at times to assert themselves on the road to protect themselves. That might mean moving out maybe just 6 inches or so to assert more space.
I'm an IAM advanced driver (highly recommended) and we just need to share the road carefully and protect each other.
Should be riding more left here Mickey, clear and safe to do so
Typical, of local council planning!!! 🙄
No.lane there😮
That is ridiculous, what is the point?!
Lol, thats pretty close to the worst one I've seen. Could only have been worse, if it has also been in the door zone.
Been 30 years since I lived in London but that looks/feels like Mortlake or Sheen?
A cycle lane like that will only encourage dangerous overtakes it’s ridiculous
With you here CM, 100%.
Joke of a lane
Just think, somebody presumably painted that on the road, stood back and felt they'd done their job well…
I wouldn't call that a cycle lane. If there was a drain, you can't avoid it without getting out of the lane. Some would say, just ride over the drain. My tyres are so narrow they can fit through the grate.
What bike are you riding there @cyclingmikey ? I love the handlebar set up
