There are some "superhighways" for bikes planned, but only 1 implemented so far.

It seems quite useful as a scheme, for the intended use (short trips), I've only tried it once so far.

Boris is in fact a cyclist, so he's better than you would expect on this issue for a Tory.

the problem in london is that the roads are narrow so there is no room for separate cycle lane. So the idea of a cycle lane is some blue paint in the road or a green line about 1 metre out. However there is no prohibition for driving or even parking in them so it's really all just pr. In fact they're often in the same space as bus lanes so you're either be trialed by a bus or being overtaken by one (very closely) that then stops immediately at a stop and you have to overtake it, ie go out into main traffic.

They're just as dangerous as if they were a normal road (cos that's all they are). Just a waste of paint to me.
