I’m not from Wales, so I don’t know how good the cycling infrastructure is there. But for me this change would make me feel much safer cycling on busy city streets. So this might encourage a few people to take their bike instead of their car.
The person you replied to is disabled - or so he claims, even if we assume he is lying about that, there are other people in his town who actually are disabled (I don’t even have to look, disability is common enough around the world). While bikes are great for “normal people”, they are not an answer for the disabled who may not be able to ride them at all. As such while cities should encourage more biking, they should not make bikes the backbone of how people are expected to get around.
…what reason would we have to assume this, and why even bring it up if there isn’t reason to?
Because on the internet people lye about things all the time.
