Bike lanes are an important part of the transportation system. People use bikes for many reasons like accessibility, affordability, or preference. They offer a mode of transportation for those that cannot/do not want to drive or do not own a car. Cyclists will exist with or without bike lanes. No bike infrastructure means bikers will share the lane with motor vehicles, increasing congestion and result in more fatalities. Is this the outcome the government wants?

Bike lanes reduce cycling fatalities and make the roads safer for everyone. There is no evidence that suggests multi-modal transportation systems that support bikers increase traffic congestion. More bikers reduce the number of cars on the road. Bike lanes make cities better and Municipalities should decide where to put bike lanes.
