Bike lanes are very important to ensure safety of bike commuters.
I commute by biking all but 3 months of winter.

- I have a car and choose not to use it. If there are no bike lanes, I will start using my car -> this will add another car to congestion downtown

- Every bike on the road is one less car. Many people ONLY bike because fo bike lanes.

- Most drivers will agree: Compare having 100 bikes vs. 100 extra personal cars/ubers/taxis in traffic in front of them.

- Incentivize biking, torontonians LOVE it (bike share grew 24% in 2023, to 5.7 million riders), do it safely and you'll remove cars. If you remove bike lanes, you're adding cars.
