Bikes need safe places to drive, aka bike lanes! Removing bike lanes won’t make bikers disappear, they will still need and want to bike around the city to work, on errands, to get places, etc - but removing bike lanes on busy streets makes it dangerous for bikers. Cars do not leave enough space around bikers when passing them on the road. To leave half a lane of space around a biker means that lane isn’t useable by cars anyways, and that road is reduced by the same 1 lane except there’s no protection around bikers like cement barriers and reflective poles. Biking is great physical activity that keeps citizens healthy and biking is so much better for the environment! Don’t try to discourage healthy biking by making it dangerous again.
