This is objectively a terrible proposal for all Ontarians. In cities, bikes are a fast, convenient, and cheap way to get around. And in places like Toronto, they are often faster than any other means of transport. Removing bike lanes will only make traffic worse because driving cars is far less space efficient than all other modes of transit - most cars only have a single occupant in them, and take up a space of over 10' x 25' when accounting for the space between cars, compared to the tiny size of most bikes. Removing bike lanes isn't going to remove cyclists either, it will just make roads more unsafe for both cyclists and drivers. And once enough bike infrastructure exists in cities, we will see a decrease in car traffic, which inversely will help those who do want to drive because those that don't can choose to bike or take another means of transit instead. Please listen to Ontarians on this. Bike lanes are not the issue here, cars are.
