I see grid-locked traffic on all the streets regardless of whether there is a bike lane. So clearly it is NOT the bike lanes that are the cause of increased congestion. The source is that there are too many cars and the majority of the cars have only 1 occupant. The bike lanes are a viable part of the solution. Imagine if all those cyclists took up driving, how much more of an issue of car traffic congestion there would be not to mention that when they get to their destination they will be all fighting for limited parking spaces. Cyclists have voluntarily opted out of the option to drive. What part have the drivers done to become part of the solution to traffic?
