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.

No. I hate bike lanes. Bike lanes reduce the amount of cars causing congestion which is then combated through taxes against the poor/working class via "congestion pricing." There should be minimal one-lane bike lanes that are to the side. However, the main focus of streets should be moving vehicles to their destinations.

This is a county level issue not country level issue.
@9NC45VKRepublican23hrs23H
No, bicycles are slow, require physical endurance, and are impracticable in bad weather and at night.
@9NBZ3TK1 day1D
State and local governments only................not the federal government.
@6RXF4D9Libertarian 1 day1D
Yes, add bike lanes where there is high enough demand; no, bike-sharing programs should be privately run, not government run.
@797XYSB 2 days2D
Yes, only if a majority of local residents want to make this change.
@9N7G5X43 days3D
Yes the government should promote the use of bicycles but only the local or state governments.
Yes, but only with implementation of more accessible, free public transportation
@9N5STLF4 days4D
Bike lanes yes. Bike sharing not necessary. We just need a place to ride without being run over.
@9N5JS7K 4 days4D
In large cities only and by local governments only. and when I say large I mean down town crowded together NYC/LA cities not moderately large suburbs.
@9N4CRBV4 days4D
YEs BUT Only in cities and highly populated congested areas
@9FNXKJWLibertarian 5 days5D
Yes, but fund it via voluntary donations and user fees.
@9N23D785 days5D
Yes, but only by the local county and city governments
@9MZ9ZZB6 days6D
Yes, but the alternative options are once again limited
@9MXV7HQPeace and Freedom7 days7D
Yes but only if adult bike riders pay road taxes like automobiles pay
@9MW35WN1wk1W
This is an issue each local government can decide on their own.
@9MVFSMF1wk1W
The government should expand bike lanes and not promote bikes through bike-sharing programs, just to make sure that bikers are not taking up space in the road.
@9MV869X1wk1W
Yes, and make the lanes safe enough to not be run over by cars.
@9MV76VC1wk1W
No, but the government should create better street and road polices to better include bike lanes
@9MT5HPG1wk1W
No, rather have more bike trails/path to commercial and residential areas
@9MS94TY 1wk1W
Yes, but only in dense urban areas which are easily navigable on bicycles.
@9MS33FJ1wk1W
no, unless the usage of bicycles becomes more prevalent throughout the nation
@9MR4ZT8Republican1wk1W
I think it could make people healthier and less huge, and could solve lots of the obesity issues here in the US.
@99M6G59Independent 1wk1W
No, this should be decided at the state and local level instead of by the federal government
@9MNPSCD1wk1W
Sure, but not to much that it can cause a large amount of traffic
@SenBR2003 2wks2W
Yes, but only in combination with supporting other measures such as loose zoning laws and the construction of high-density housing.
@9MMFB6P2wks2W
Yes, but more bike lanes should be built within sidewalks, not on the road to prevent accidents with vehicles
