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.

Yes, and there should be more protections set in place for cyclists on public roadways.

 @9RZPX67from Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

no, bike lanes are dangerous and counter progressive for cities

 @9W545SXfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but require cyclists to pass a course for cycling in traffic, lane use, etc.

 @9W3RQ7Sfrom Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

No, much of Canada is too cold for this to be a viable year-round solution.

 @9RDS9RZfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

I would prefer to see bike routes separate from the main roads, but understand this is difficult

 @BDVKZP3from Ontario  answered…4wks4W

We live in Canada where bike lanes are only good for 2/3 of the year. Focus on public transit instead.

 @BDFC56Ffrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Yes and add monkey lanes with bamboo trees

 @BCW7VPDfrom Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

In a city that sees snow and ice for 4-6 months every year, restricting vehicle flow even more than the ice and windrows do is foolish
