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.

The government should make more provision for cyclists and endeavour to minimise cycling on roads by ensuring provision of segregated cycle paths. Cyclists should be required to have third party insurance and be subject to all traffic laws.

 @9NWKFJ9answered…2yrs2Y

Yes use of bicycles should be promoted but with proper infrastructure for cycling rather than bike lanes tagged onto the side of the road (see netherlands as example)

 @9NXJ62Janswered…2yrs2Y

Proper bike lanes are needed away from traffic. Not just token white lines down roads these are so dangerous.

 @BDZVZV2 answered…1wk1W

Depends on the roads. We need to stop insisting on main roads having cycle lanes and encourage side roads

 @B644N65  from Maine  answered…1wk1W

No, this is ineffective however, bicycle use should be promoted

 @BDY3YRLanswered…2wks2W

Yes, they should promote the use of bicycles, but doing it this way is a waste of time and money

 @BDX49CXanswered…2wks2W

Depends entirely on the roads in question, some areas are not suitable for bike lanes.

 @BDNVJ64 answered…1mo1MO

Yes but also allow the use of e-scooters as a licensable user of bike lanes
