Compared to having no deaths/life changing accidents on the roads(see video i posted above).
"Relatively" safe is not really safe enough if you loose a friend or family member.
I agree, we will have to use some of the road network at times and the measures you listed would help for now, but in the long term, we need a network that supports young, old, hire bikes, people to travel to the UK and the inexperienced..... and if cycle lanes are designed well(this is key), they will not slow down the more experienced rider.
We have a tiny percentage of the UK population riding bikes. I would like to see every person in the UK own and ride a bike(not for every journey, but more often than now). This will only happen when the infra supports this.
