Bike lanes don't cause…

Bike lanes don't cause congestion, they alleviate it. If people feel safe in riding their bikes (and infrastructure is key to creating that feeling of safety), more will do so. The only way to relieve congestion is to get people out of their cars (not only through better cycling facilities, but also through more intense neighbourhoods close to where people work, more remote work, and better transit). Please rethink this ill-considered legislation.
