Looking at the “Rush Hour Mix” article, in Hackney/Walthamstow areas it’s noticeable how many people have got on their bikes. Admittedly I’ve only looked at these areas (where I cycle usually) but maybe London’s pro cycling policy is starting to have a positive effect.
Or maybe it’s just catching up with the number of cyclists increasing…

Yes, but even with the increase are all those cyclists anywhere near even 10% of the road-use?
( I’m asking because I’m having difficulty – my browser, I think – in viewing the outputs from that article. )
They seem to have ignored the Lartigue Monorail and the Fell Railways in the Strangest locomotives vidoes 😉
