Bike lanes are an essential form of transportation. Worldwide there are examples of communities that use bikes daily for their short-distanced needs. Imagine the road congestion if every 16+ yrs old person needs a car. It is in the province's best interest to not force those potential bike riders to get into debt to buy cars because they dont have other ways to move around more efficiently (not everyone has a bus / train nearby or within their direct route) and thus avoiding further congestion. Municipalities are the ones that know their people, and where they move and want to go. It makes no sense for the province to be determining bike lanes for all towns /cities, unless those are inter-cities bike connections. And the whole winter riding issue, that noone rides in the cold, please take a trip to Copenhagen to see the answer.
