- calt 5y agoTLDW: A city that is less reliant on cars actually reduces congestion and makes it more pleasant to drive in a city. Fewer cars on the road means less competition. Bike lanes have more capacity to move people. Well designed intersections and bike lanes mean that you aren't competing against cyclists and pedestrians for road space you're coexisting along just fine.
