I saw what this would be like yesterday on the Southbank to Southport charity ride. They closed down part of the busway for the ride. Beautiful riding, but when you get lots of people that don't really ride very much, especially in traffic*, the reality doesn't exactly live up to the dream.
* the same skills you need for riding with busy motor traffic pretty much apply to bike traffic. The main one people don't seem to have, or don't think applies in bike traffic is the old look behind before changing your line one.
