I just saw a few problems with that video

There are no bikes in city centre either (well, you can walk them)
that bus setup looks ***REALLY*** dangerous
no bikes on the road (makes things hard for speed demons)

You definitely need a feeling of community for this to work; people really need to work together in harmony. I feel we are all too individualistic and selfish here (as well as ethnically diverse and economically stratified) for this kind of approach to work right away. I know I'd be pissed waiting behind slower cyclists, but thats just because I'm not used to it.

They definitely have the right idea and some of the best cycling infrastructure in the world though.
