Country has public health system and runs extensive preventative health campaigns to reduce preventable illness and burden on healthcare system.

Meanwhile encourages people on bikes on to roads with vehicles which weigh over a tonne and have extensive blind spots with nothing more than some polystyrene on their head.

This is blatant corruption of the political process by the motor vehicle lobby. Call it out wherever you see it. Vehicularisation of cycling is a dead end. It only works for a minority if risk taking, super fit cyclists willing to play chicken. Everyone else is excluded.
