Bike lanes don't cause…

Bike lanes don't cause traffic. Cars cause traffic. People use cars when they can't access reliable transit service. As a cyclist and a driver, if the province removes existing bike lanes that keep me safe I will be forced to use my bike to take up an entire car lane which will slow down car traffic and endanger my safety due to the lack of competent and considerate drivers in Ontario. If I am injured, it will cause harm to my person, financial and emotional hardship to my family, and since our healthcare is publicly funded a financial burden to the province as well as my employer. This is a regressive policy that will waste tax dollars that could be used to improve transit.
