Study after study has proven that the best and most sensible way to reduce traffic is to increase the ways by which people can travel without using a car. It is cars that cause traffic problems. Allowing people to travel by bike takes cars off the road. Disallowing bike travel will achieve two things:
1. Ensuring more cars on the road, and
2. Ensuring traffic moves even slower, since cyclists will simply take the lane. This will contribute to dangerous conditions for all road users.

Please refer to Premier Ford's own cycling experience, as was recorded years ago during a cycling trip he took using bike lanes, and to his comments that he made on that video. Bike lanes keep bicycles separated from cars and they keep cars off the road. Leave the bike lanes alone and do not prevent the installation of new ones for such a misguided reason.
