(it would make cycling less popular with people who don't and won't cycle, but I am guessing that's not what you are asking.)

I would like to see a default speed limit of 20mph on residential roads.

Give some of the design standards national legal force (including 20mph residential and retail areas which I think is in Manual for Streets 1 or 2) instead of pathetic weak guidance. Let us claim punitive damages from councils for building crap hazards. That'll get them fixed very quickly.
I don't think we need many laws to popularise cycling, but enforcing the current traffic laws against motorists more will always help. Zero VAT rate on exercise products including cycling ones would be nice and probably promote public health.

Any new or upgraded segregated cycle infrastructure must be a minimum of 2 metres wide and have an asphalt surface. It must be suitable for disabled riders, cargo bikes, recumbents, tandems, bikes with trailers. It must be signed and include the distance and name of the most distant point that can be reached without interruption to the infrastructure / facility.
