Majority of people on this forum are fit and able but my view is that I want cycle infrastructure aimed more at people who cycle rather than cyclists. This way I'm more likely to have friends who don't cycle come out with me on two wheeled adventures.
Why not do a 100 miler at 17mph with the boys then chill on eCargo in normal clothes on the same day?
Thats what I do but instead of 100 miles its 30 these days.
Point is; people can be both, I actually kinda hate cyclists.

I guess I have mixed feelings about cycle lanes from a personal level but see them as important for those people who are less confident (eg children) and less able (eg parents with two children in child seats).
This 100%. Anyone doing anything near 45kmh shouldn't be anywhere near cycle lanes - motor or not.

I know there is the case to be made for the less confident and less able using ebikes but the cost of these bikes puts them out of reach of the less wealthy.
