We need to expand bike lanes - not remove them!

Bike lanes have improved quality of life for my family in many ways. I have relied on them to safely commute to the office ; run errands ; taxi my daughter around; exercise. All without putting a car on the road ; taking up parking spots ; burning gas. My daughter is enthusiastic about biking. I am feeling better about my health.

You have got to know that taking away bike lanes will only make traffic worse. Some cyclists will continue to cycle and will take up lane. Motorists are going to want to return to the road.

Usage of bike lanes is still growing. When roads were first built , there was not heavy traffic initially.
