Default Bus Lanes: Proof Of What We All Knew

Every single study shows that more cyclists on the roads results in

acts as a disincentive to cycling, it should be opposed.


I don't think you've thought that one through. As a significant portion
of people who do not ride bicycles on metalled roads say they would if
it wasn't for the dangerous motor vehicles, your argument logically
extends to banning all motor vehicles. Indeed, there wouldn't be any
cyclist / vehicle accidents then.
