Do you have evidence of that? Cyclists clearly ask for dedicated lanes, separated from the pavement. They very often mock pedestrians, often tourists, for blocking the lanes they have and not responding to calls to clear the way. It’s far too antagonist to be interpreted as fake solidarity.

They do welcome scooters, mobility aids, and powered wheelchairs in the lanes, often implicitly — and there could be confusion there, but honestly, that’s not something that feels inorganic. Anything faster than a jogger, non-polluting qualifies.

There are discourses about natural or active mobility, quieter street, and pollution that does encompass public transport, pedestrians, and cyclists. It is meant as a coalition of anyone who isn’t a giant pain for everyone around them, but I don’t think that’s a confusion. If you start seeing discourse about a clearer separation between bikes and pedestrians on quiet streets, sure, but that’s not really something cyclists talk about, or want: bikes are for mobility, not browsing between café terraces.
