Bike lanes make my life safer.

I was hit by a car while on my bike several years ago causing a concussion which led to job loss. It took years to recover fully and then a difficult time getting hired back into my industry given the gap in my resume, which I will have to explain in every interview going forward.

Had there been a bike lane at that location (there still isn’t), I would not have been hit.

As a driver, bikes make city driving vastly safer and more efficient. I feel safer as a driver knowing my fellow citizens on bikes are protected, instead of them fighting for space in a car lane.

Removing our wonderful bike lanes is a harm and disservice to our communities. It is asinine, regressive use of our tax dollars and directly harmful to all citizens.

Shame on you. And shame on you for the rest of this bill and for using bike lanes as a smokescreen for your corruption.
