There is no sound,…

There is no sound, academically supported economic, political or social argument in favor of reducing bike lanes. Indeed, the evidence points in the other direction. This is nothing more than a machiavellian political charade to appeal to a subsetbof voters and donors who are angry about a problem that doesn't exist. Maybe a bike ride would blow off some steam for those people and they'd see the physical and mental benefits... but to do that, you need a bike lane framework. Stop being selfish, Doug and put the city first.
