I've been a driver and a cyclist for years. We need more bike lanes. Period. Better infrastructure benefits everyone. 99.999% of cyclists don't want to inconvenience drivers anymore than drivers want to be inconvenienced by cyclists. Everyone just wants a safe, reliable, convenient way to get from point A to point B.

This proposal is a modest start but better than nothing. Invest now, invest big. You will accomplish nothing with limp-wristed half measures. Bad or incomplete bike lanes are more unsafe than having no bike lanes at all.

Lastly, politicians and MPs (I won't name names) need to stop using an imaginary culture war as a talking point. Cyclists and Drivers are not enemies. Cyclists are not "liberal snowflakes" and drivers are not "right wing fascists". Politicians thrive on conflict so they invented one.

We know your games. And we're sick of it.

Build the bike lanes.
