One challenge in most places is that opportunities to move from cycleway to road and back are often limited by hedges and high kerbs. Denmark has so-called crossable kerbs between many roads and roadside cycleways but I don't remember whether MK copied that.In MK a good many "pavements" are actually Redways which are shared-use (it's obvious which ones as they are made of red tarmac if so). However personally I've been cycling on the road wherever feasible to avoid coming too close to pedestrians - the roads are nice and quiet so why not?
The reason not to use the roads is that a speeding motorist seems like still a bigger danger than a momentary exposure to a covid person on the cycleway.
