but there are the ones who don't cycle around, who can't walk far because of bad hips who might like to pootle down to the shops on Kingsland road

I think there comes a point where you need to start looking at your definition of "anyone". I mean, you're saying that this kind of infrastructure is particularly useful for targeting infirm people making short journeys. @cyclelove is saying it's good for targeting all potential cyclists. Well, which is it? Who are you trying to get on bikes, and why?

It can be both. Older people are still potential cyclists as much as my parents who are still able to do anything, but wouldn't dream of getting on a bike in Manchester.
