I commute to work by bike…

I commute to work by bike plus volunteer with my neighbourhood's "bike bus": a group of students who bike to and from school together with adult accompaniment.

Removing safe routes will kill the bike bus. That's more parents having to drive their kids to and from school or turning a 10 minute ride into a 30 minute walk. For those that drive, it's more cars crowding into already-over-congested pickup and drop-off areas, slowing everyone down and increasing the danger to kids.

I'll probably go back to driving to work, so you're putting another car on the road. And if I do continue biking I'll do what's legal and recommended: Take the whole lane.
