It is not bike lanes that inherently contribute to gridlock, it is the poor infrastructure planning that contributes to gridlock. Promoting car-centric transportation planning as opposed to public transportation and active transportation infrastructure has been shown through research and precedents in cities across North America that it contributes to further congestion.

Cyclists deserve the right to travel safely, and so do drivers. Please consult transportation planners and researchers.
