Create the main cycle routes on secondary streets, and make them unattractive for cars." I was actually thinking about this recently. Where I bike in the Boston area many of the bike lanes are on the busiest roads where buses and trucks drive on too. I often take side streets that don't have bike lanes but fell safer. However, I don't think it's that easy to use mainly side streets, it really depends on the city street design.
