The curbs these cyclists are leaning on are excellent examples of bike-friendly-design.

Eight cyclists occupy approximately the same road space as one car.

In London, around 60% of car trips are made by a single occupant. This means that a large proportion of urban road capacity is consumed by vehicles moving one person at a time.
Congestion is not a consequence of cycle lanes. It is the spatial inefficiency of private cars.
When cities allocate space to cycling, they are not reducing capacity — they are increasing it. Bicycles move more people per square metre, reduce emissions, improve public health, and require far less infrastructure investment.

The question is not whether we can afford cycle lanes.
The question is whether we can afford to dedicate most of our urban space to the least space-efficient mode of transport.
