Taking away dedicated bike infrastructure from cyclists won't suddenly convince those cyclists to drive for their commutes. The benefits of cycling are too numerous to abandon: improved physical and mental health (ergo, savings to future health care costs), less damage to roads from negligible vehicular weight, personal cost savings (no insurance, no gas, little maintenance), and massive reductions to climate emissions (assuming your government cares about science). Bike commutes are also often faster than taking public transit or even driving.
What WILL happen is that those cyclists will now be directly in the path of large, heavy, potentially deadly automobiles which ... will get stuck behind said cyclists.
What exactly are you accomplishing by doing this, apart from sowing even more division in our society? Have you considered removing sidewalks to improve vehicular traffic further? Do you know about induced demand as it relates to adding car lanes (see link), and do you even care?
