Nine in ten British women say cycling isn't safe. Hence it is a barrier to get more women cycling.
Cycling paths won't make any difference due to the amount of crime, especially in places like London.
This means that it doesn't matter how much the government or councils spend on cycle paths, it won't make any difference. Cycle sales are also down to a 39 year low.

Then there is the fact that cycling isn't healthy either, cycling has a detrimental impact upon the pelvic floor and nervous system. Not healthy for your body, not safe either.

UPDATE 7th May, 2024.
Technology outstrips legislation causing safety issues on the roads. E-bikers appear to have no regard for red lights, pedestrian crossings, one way streets, or right of way. This journalists says that it should be compulsory to wear a helmet, electric bikes should be registered, (all bikes should be) insurance should be mandatory. I agree.
