Bicycle commuting is healthy…

Bicycle commuting is healthy, environmentally friendly, and space-efficient. The most successful, vibrant and tourist-friendly cities in the world have embraced bike lanes and cycling, as well as public transit. Cities that try to encourage everyone to travel by car are hollowed out, boring, unappealing to tourists, polluted from all the cars, and nevertheless gridlocked despite ever more vehicle lanes, because the more lanes that are built, the more people drive cars. The more cycling lanes that are built, the more people ride bikes. Do we want to emulate the most successful cities in the world, which are cities that encourage cycling, walking and public transport, or do we want to emulate the most unattractive cities of the world which are cities that dedicate more and more infrastructure to vehicular traffic. This bill is a travesty, and it will also end up with more cyclists getting killed while trying to navigate unsafe roads. Kill the bike lane removal bill!
