As someone who both cycles and drives in the city, I think bike lanes are necessary for the safety of drivers and cyclists. Removing bike lanes will force cyclists onto the road essentially blocking off lanes from drivers and cause congestion as drivers need to merge to avoid the cyclist.

Cyclists aren’t going anywhere, it’s a great transportation option in addition to public transit. We should be working to make as many modes of transportation available to the public and make them safe. Diversify your portfolio of transportation options.
