Went to Central London for first time since lockdown and Wow! It was like the Netherlands, just with more people on bikes.
Most of the parks have been completely shut to motor traffic, which makes so much more space for people - meaning there was little sign of the conflict that can occur when too many people are squeezed into too little space.
Obviously it was a sunny bank holiday but still shows if you build infrastructure to make people feel safe & deter unnecessary car journeys (with the congestion charge), people will happily cycle in very large numbers.
