I am opposed to the changes proposed by the government around bike lanes. I do not own a car and I use my bike as my primary mode of transportation, supplemented by some car sharing when it’s not safe of feasible to bike. I rely on bike lanes every day to keep me safe on my commutes. If bike lanes are deprioritized, I will need to commute by car more often because it will no longer be safe to bike. I may even need to buy a car. This directly goes against what the government says it wants to achieve - deprioritizing bikes and making it less safe or feasible to bike puts more people in cars and increases congestion.
