When businesses, organisation, councils or
politicians pretend to be supportive of or encouraging cycling when in fact they are not.
Councils give the impression that they are producing improvements to cycling without actually producing improvements to cycling.
Or a politician is pictured on a bike or has a
profile picture of them on a bike, and they describe themselves as a 'keen cyclist' when everyone knows they are just there for a photo
opportunity and don't want to improve cycling safety.
