BIKE LANES KEEP PEOPLE SAFE AND IMPROVE THE ECONOMY.

There is no valid reason to be against bike lanes. Bike lanes keep both cyclists and traffic safe. If there weren’t any bike lanes, cyclists would be in the road with traffic, causing delays and slowing down cars. Not to mention how many more accidents and road rage incidents it would cause.

Prioritizing bike lanes also has statistically improved businesses and the economy.

As well, not everyone can afford to 1. own a car 2. pay for insurance. Bikes are extremely accessible for those who can’t drive or can’t afford to. This improves quality of life (also because it’s a great physical activity!) Parking a bike is also free whereas parking with a car can get horribly expensive in the city.

Why would you want cyclists to be put in danger and slow down traffic when there is a way to 1. Improve safety 2. Improve quality of life and promote fitness 3. Help businesses and the economy 4. Keep traffic running smoothly?
