This bill is most likely a total waste of time.

Bikes compared to cars are:
1. Cheaper to purchase
2. Encourage a more active lifestyle, meaning widespread use will aid in reducing the load on our health care system.
3. Put less stress on the road since they are slower moving and lighter, meaning having to pay for less road maintenance.
4. Easier to accommodate for parking, meaning inner cities might be able to do away with street parking freeing up another lane of traffic anyway.
5. Are more environmentally friendly. Admittedly a secondary benefit, but nobody likes air pollution, and if it can be reduced it should be.

Even just looking at it through a financial lens let alone the other benefits, bicycles should be encouraged and there’s no better way than dedicated bike lanes. Without them, cycling in the city is more akin to putting your life in the hands of the motorists around you, many of whom are angry and may not give you the space you need as a result.

The main reason to vote conservative is to peel back regulation and bureaucracy. Why is this government trying to add as much as possible?
