    1. There are more car-only roads than bike-only roads
    2. Virtually no roads are ever completely closed off from car traffic and allocated strictly towards bicycles
    3. More lanes = more traffic jams (induced demand)
    4. More bike lanes = more people on bikes = fewer people in cars = fewer jams for “your lifestyle”
    5. Narrower roads = Fewer cars = fewer pedestrian deaths = fewer car-crashes
    6. More people biking/walking, healthier lifestyle, less stress on the healthcare system.

    I don’t see how this isn’t a win for car-people and bike-people.
