Bike lanes reduce congestion…

Bike lanes reduce congestion as more people travel by bike. The safer people feel biking, the more likely they are to use it as transportation. Biking is inexpensive, easy on road infrastructure, and healthier for the body. A healthier population reduces heath care costs. And biking in a city increases business to local businesses.

If you persevere with building bike infrastructure, and give it a chance, we will ultimately come out ahead in commute times, better quality air, and health.

I loved cycling around the cities in the Netherlands. What a joy! Copenhagen and Stockholm too. These great cities show how it can be done to the benefit of all.
