Will popularity of Boris Bikes lead to a critical mass of cyclists?

Today in Victoria Park, Hackney, there was someone obviously on a ride for pleasure on a Boris Bike. Last weekend I saw 3 women on Boris Bikes out cycling together on the towpath. Great!

I notice if I go out to the shops at lunchtime (near Euston station) not only all the Boris Bikes but more other bikes as well.

It would be wonderful if this rise in cycling could continue until the authorities will play more than lip service to the safety and eof cycling and we could be like Denmark and the the Netherlands with masses of people regularly cycling (and in ordinary clothes!)
