Bicycle lanes help to reduce…

Bicycle lanes help to reduce traffic congestion by encouraging people to travel by bicycle rather than by vehicle. Research has shown that they do NOT increase traffic congestion. The proposed legislation does not cite any evidence for its proposition that bicycle lanes on major roads cause traffic congestion. Therefore, I believe that it is a stupid piece of proposed legislation.

Furthermore, I believe that the proposed legislation arises largely from the misguided prejudices of Mr Ford, not from any rational study of the evidence.

Please withdraw this legislation.
