By closing roads for more bike lanes he cause more traffic jam for everyone even people who live in Vancouver. Our work is by a bike lane and even summer days I seen less than 20 bikes use it and I work at 7am so I can actually see if people are using the bike lanes to work.
If you have a bike you should try it. Way more relaxing than the drive from downtown back to metrotown and I left downtown at 1PM. Takes about 45 mins.

I started work at 5am for 10 years and my commute to downtown was just me and pretty much 4 other cars lol. But when I head home at 1pm, it's a traffic jam. Where were these people at 5am? How come they're off work already? This drove me crazy everyday.

This summer I started riding in for 6am and I pass (or am passed by) at least 5 people just on the Dunsmuir part so it's definitely more than 20 people riding the whole day on that route.

Can't beat them, join them.
