There is also the false dichotomy of bikes-versus-vehicle flow. Getting many more people on bikes frees up both road space and seats on public transport, making everyone’s life easier. Well, not strictly everyone.
To make cities more attractive for cyclists they must necessarily be made less attractive for car drivers, with low speed limits on side roads and bike-permeable barriers to stop rat-running. This is a hurdle too far for most British politicians, which makes Johnson’s efforts in London, however flawed they are in part, also deserving of some credit.
