But why - if the road has no attached cycle way you could go on the

No, it won't. On average, cycle ways are very much _less_ safe for
cyclists than normal roads. Read the research. Of course there may be
some cycle ways which are safer, but at present they;re the exception
not the rule and I think that's true for every country in which the
issue has been studied.
