Is there any sign that people cycle more because of the infrastructure rather than the other way around?

This was an article I found on the topic
It's the same with cars, a phenomenon called induced demand leads to more people taking the car and go on a route if it has newly widened streets which will in turn lead to congestion again.
Nice, thanks ! Are there any similar trends outside cities?
I am not sure! Hit me up if you find anything out.
I think the better question is rather if flat geography and relatively short distances due to population density makes it seem highly likely that bicycle lanes will be used.
That is pretty much what I had in mind with that question, without specifying the factors that favor more cycling before the infrastructure is build
Reminds me the Holy Roman Empire which was neither holy neither roman neither empire
