On a practical level, I own a car like everyone else, but prefer to bike in urban areas and am more likely to do so if good bike infrastructure exists. If I choose to bike, that's one more spot available on the road for someone who would prefer to drive their car. We both win. On a principles-based level, it seems to me that bike lanes on municipal streets, their establishment or removal, is a local matter. Weren't city mayors and councilors democratically elected by their constituents to make decisions of this nature?
