As a driver, bike lanes keep me safe as well as cyclists. That said, I only drive when necessary. The answer to congestion is fewer cars on the road.

That includes limiting cars, and certainly not building more highways. Bike lanes encourage more people to cycle - and that is critical to our collective responsibility.
