Sadly, on narrow island roads I don't think substantial bikes would stop vehicles passing too close. Oh goodness, it's very tricky to retro fit the UK with suitable facilities for cycles. We have nice bike paths near me but they don't go anywhere practical.
In Holland & Denmark I've seen very large, effective bike lanes but pedestrians have to take great care crossing them! In places (like Copenhagen) they did seem rather fast & furious.
