Look, almost every large study has found that bike lanes reduce congestion because, when you get down to it congestion is made up of cars and the only way to have less of it is to reduce the number of cars on the road. Whether that’s biking, transit, carpooling, etc. doesn’t matter as long as you’re reducing the total number of cars – the math of needing over 100 square feet per person is just brutally unforgiving. Urban areas don’t have the space, rural areas usually don’t have the money, and nobody wants the health impacts or pollution.
