Rob Anderson's claims that the implementing of more bike lanes would lead to more pollution is unsubstantiated and preposterous. It is true that by decreasing the number of car lanes on the streets of San Francisco there could be more congestion as a result, but only at first. In time motorist will learn that different modes of transportation can be much quicker at rush hour times, and therefore individuals will opt to no longer drive in the city. Large cities are designed for business, not auto-motives. By putting in more bike lanes the city is encouraging people to ride bikes instead of drive their cars so that traffic will decrease over time. Delaying and/or stopping the construction of bike lanes is detrimental to the safety of cyclists and the environment.
