I am a cyclist. I cannot…

I am a cyclist. I cannot afford a car. Like baby in the city, bike lanes are the only way I can safely and affordably traverse urban areas to get where I need to go. Studies have shown that bike lanes reduce congestion, not increase it, and that adding car lanes does NOT reduce congestion. Reducing the number of cars in the inner city also increases the speed and reliability of public transportation. We need to add more bike lanes, not remove them, and support public transit infrastructure, not focus on cars. This is better for people and better for the environment. It's common sense. Do not remove bike lanes, add more of them.
