This is stupid. Bikes…

This is stupid. Bikes transport more people per square meter of road utilization than car lanes. Additionally, these bike lanes do not reduce car lanes on these roads. I use the university bike lane to commute to the hospital for work, removal of this bike lane would either push me into more dangerous situations, where I would block cars from driving by requiring sharing the lane, further slowing down traffic. Alternatively I might choose drive myself if I felt sufficiently unsafe, having an even greater impact on the burden of car traffic along that stretch of road.
