(1) Removing bike lanes…

(1) Removing bike lanes means cyclists will take up a full lane of traffic rather than half a lane, this will slow down cars and the number of accidents will go up.

(2) The millions of trips that were taken by bike would either have to be done on transit, by walking or most likely by taking a car which would increase traffic.

(3) ripping up lanes that have already been built is a waste of money

(4) bike lanes usually look empty because many more people can travel in a smaller space. Bike traffic flow is a lot better than car traffic at moving people.

There are a lot more reasons i won't, just please bring in an expert or go to Montreal or Amsterdam and see what traffic can look like if we make it easier to travel without a car. (the more people choose to travel without a car the more space on the road is available for cars which makes traffic better)
