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.

@9ZVHD6Y2mos2MO
Yes but in a way that doesn’t infringe on accessibility for disabled people e.g. driving and parking being entirely unavailable and restricted in certain areas
@9ZTZ4P52mos2MO
No as the weather is not good enough in this country but should promote them in an approach for healthy lifestyle and exercise
@9ZT4CM9 2mos2MO
Yes, they should be expanded but not at the expense or inconvenience of those who chose to and enjoy driving.
@9ZT3FBC2mos2MO
Yes and no. We do not have the weather to rely on this type of transport. No one wants to get into work and have to sit all day in soaking wet clothes, or have to change outfits multiple times a day. We are also a commuter country. Many people travel 30+ minutes to and from work, etc. each-way and each day, this is not sustainable for the majority of the population. Increasing bike lane widths and ultimately reducing road carriageway widths poses a great safety issue to pedestrians and cyclists, especially in areas with no alternative route for HGVs. this ulatimately results in a higher risk to cyclists and pedestrians, and further increases congestion in many areas.
@9Z96VJH3mos3MO
Yes but have more regulation on electric bikes and scooters
@9YNCGF63mos3MO
Yes, but only expanding bike lanes where it does not negatively impact the existing vehicle traffic, such as the removal of vital lanes which help with congestion. Otherwise, bike lanes should be planned and installed in a way that doesn't affect existing traffic.
@9YMJMMR3mos3MO
Very important! Current strategy/ methods are weak and having very limited impact in growing this mode of transport. Strategies and methods need greater ambition and political commitments.
@9RPRR486mos6MO
There should be promotion of the use of bicycles but not by taking away space of the roads.
