It's for the safety of cyclists as much as anything.You're more vulnerable than motorcyclists and don't even have the modest protection of being able to keep up with the traffic. Plus, regardless of whether or not it *should* be possible to get along, we don't. There's no reason why you can't use the road network, but different types of traffic need to be separated. Even the Romans could see that.
