Some of the videos & photos doing the rounds do give that impression in places.
But as its only going to be during strikes, don't expect much money be expended on wider lanes etc

But 'Is the Tube strike turning London’s cycle lanes into “mosh pits on wheels”? Cyclists claim commute is “carnage” due to red light jumpers and hire bikes'.

"Dublin City Council has recruited three social media influencers to try to persuade teenage girls that cycling can be cool and fun." https://www.rte.ie/news/regional/2025/0910/1532646-cycling-girls/
Thoroughly to be applauded, and should be copied elsewhere.
But you do need to provide the infrastructure to support it. https://road.cc/content/news/cyclist-killed-hgv-driver-council-says-junction-safe-315793
End on a more positive note the London Tube strike has encouraged more to get on their bikes https://road.cc/content/news/cycling-live-blog-10-september-2025-315837. "Increased demand proof that better, wider cycleways needed", well that will get the taxi drivers going!
