Dunno about York, but the problem in Leicesterseems to be that cyclists are almost expected to use the pavements, which (as a cyclist) I hate. Cycle lanes are often painted on the pavements, which is inconvenient for everyone.
I cycle on the roads and use them properly and have few problems - actually pedestrians annoy me more often than drivers.
Also I spend a lot of my time stuck behind buses, and cars.
Cycling is healthy, fast, environmentally sound, and, like everything else, annoying if done by twunts. Please don't tar us all with the same brush.
