As someone with a recent hand injury I cannot drive and so bicycle lanes are crucial for me to safely get to my occupational therapist appointments and other places so that I can continue to contribute to the economy.

When I had to take an ambulance to the hospital for my injury, people being able to use bike lanes helped me get there faster. If everyone I saw on a bike was in a car instead, the road would have been full and my hand may not have survived. Bike lanes are a matter or safety and health for EVERYONE, not just cyclists, including those who need to be in a car.
