Reasons not to remove bike lanes;

1. Eliminating bike lanes won't eliminate bikes. Forcing cyclists into the car traffic is not only significantly more dangerous for the riders but also slows down cars even further when they pass the bike.

2. The car lane you're adding is only going to get filled by parked cars anyway therefore not improving anything.

3. We don't need more cars on the road. Cars are the most inefficient way to get around in the city. The majority of cars have one person in them, taking up vast amounts of space between human bodies whereas, on a bike or public transit, we are way closer together saving space.

4. Riding bikes are good for the environment and good for the health of people. Not only is it more efficient to ride a bike time-wise, but it's also keeping people in a healthy state. Maybe Ford needs to think about that.

5. Instead of having a personal vendetta about them, probably because he's too lazy and incapable of riding a bike himself, he should listen to the experts on this topic.
