If they want people to cycle give them a decent environment to cycle in, I dont cycle on the cycle paths anymore its to bumpy, and its full of other cyclists who wobble about all over the place due to having no bike control.

I think it's a case of a lot of little things add up to an improvement overall. Plus cycle lanes, etc send a message out that cyclists are being taken into account, and there are also some more subtle influences in presenting cycling as a more valid form of transport.
But I totally take your point over the road conditions - I've done a bit of cycling recently myself and the cycle lanes just seemed to go in and out of drains/round lamposts the whole time!!
