We should be ADDING bike…

We should be ADDING bike lanes, not removing them. This is a terrible idea and it will cost lives. What seems to be ignored is that people on bikes are doing the exact same thing as people in cars are doing: trying to go places! We're going to work, we're going to shop, we're trying to live our lives and doing it without creating extra traffic congestion. You know what creates congestion? Cars! And every cyclist on the road is one less car. If you don't like bikes in bike lanes, you're going to like it even less when we're taking up the full lane, which is exactly how we rode when there weren't any bike lanes (I'm old enough to remember that). We'll do it again if you take the lanes away.
This is blatant political pandering and no one is fooling anyone.
