Bike lanes reduce motor vehicle use and gridlock, which are both bad for the environment.

I own a car, but I regularly use my bike to get around the City of Toronto, including commuting to work and visiting local businesses. I am able to do this because the network of bike lanes makes it safe to get around in a bike.

Without bike infrastructure to make the journeys safe, I will have to go back to using my car for more trips, increasing traffic and contributing to pollution and fossil fuel usage.
