I imagine that the more cyclists there are, the better the awareness and appreciation of their choice to ride, and the better the infrastructure. In Australia, there are a lot of people who seriously despise people choosing to ride.

Either us vs them, or jealous that others have made a decision they are unwilling to make? It's baffling.
