Should the government promote the use of bicycles by expanding bike lanes and bike-sharing programs?

Expanding bike lanes and bike-sharing programs encourages cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation. Proponents argue that it reduces traffic congestion, lowers emissions, and promotes a healthier lifestyle. Opponents argue that it can be costly, may take away road space from vehicles, and might not be widely used.

Millions have been spent on bike lanes but they still ride on the road & its dangerous

 @BD6ZT9Hanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, in the cities. 40km bike lanes on motorways are pointless and dangerous

 @BCX575Danswered…2mos2MO

Yes, build more bike lanes and bike trails that actually benefit the environment they are in not just laying a bike lane in the side of the road. Ban bicycles from being on the main road, which cause crashes and slow down movement.

 @BBXGKX2answered…3mos3MO

No, this is a future luxury and the priority should be improving public transport and road quality first, considering people pay for these services.

 @B8WB4TZanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, but this should be done in conjunction with the private sector, as part of their social responsibility, and to save taxpayer money.

 @B7VDYP4answered…8mos8MO

This should be up to local government only based on an assessment of the local area's resources and objectives
