Induced demand means the more traffic ways you build of a particular medium, the more of that kind of traffic you will encourage. This means the more car lanes we build, the more car traffic there will be. This also means the more bike lanes we build, the more bike traffic we will see.
The impact of bikes vs. cars on a city's health, sustainability and quality of life is self-evident. As a society we should strive to build more livable cities. That means prioritizing bike lanes over car lanes - and likely means less commuting options for cars. Car owners might see this as a step backwards, but as a car owner myself I see it as a necessary tradeoff for the greater good.
Please keep the bike lanes and build more of them, even if it comes at the cost of car lanes. Car traffic and its negative impact on noise, safety and pollution in comparison to bike traffic should make this decision an easy one.
