I am a 70 year old resident…

I am a 70 year old resident of Ottawa and take many trips by bicycle, for the sake of my health and fitness, to reduce carbon emissions and congestion, and for the efficiency of not having to find parking in crowded city spaces. Bike lanes make such cycle commuting safer and more attractive than having to contend with full-on car traffic. Does my provincial government really want to discourage this, even take it away from me? Has there been any reference to studies in many jurisdictions around the world which demonstrate that bike lanes reduce congestion, and that more and wider roadways induce demand and increase traffic?

Please reconsider this ill conceived legislation.
