I'm a cyclist. I use the bike lanes in my city. But I didn't always bike to work or to the shops downtown or to meet my friends for coffee. I only started biking to these places after I had access to safe bike lanes.

I'm also a driver, I own my car and use it regularly. I know what it's like to sit in traffic, I know it sucks. But I don't blame the bike lanes for that. In fact I prefer having the bike lanes as a driver, I like knowing the cyclist are going to be in the bike lane and I don't have to worry about passing them.

Bike lanes are safer for everyone, not just cyclist but drivers and pedestrian as well. Please reconsider bill 212, keep adding bike lanes and please do not remove what little progress we have made.
