Bike lanes are necessary to ensure the safety of riders, without them cyclists will still be cycling, the difference is their lives will be placed at a greater risk.

Furthermore all densely populated cities require alternate modes of transportation and prioritizing vehicular traffic without any alternative solutions for others is poor city planning. Safer bike lanes will encourage able bodied people to use bike lanes more, which then reduces the amount of people reliant on vehicles.

It has been proven in planning studies that adding an extra lane of traffic does not solve the vehicular traffic issue, rather encouraging people to use alternative modes of transportation does.
