I'm not sure of this is sarcasm or not so I'm going to assume you are just not thinking this through. Reducing bike lanes does not reduce the number of bikes on the road. It simply means those bikes will be on the road with cars, which is legally allowed. And once on the road bikes are legally entitled to the entire lane. So the end result of this entire scenario is cars being stuck behind slower moving bicycles. Which I 100% cant wait to see if the lanes are removed. I myself will be cruising at 5km/hr in front of every entitled car driver until the lanes come back.

cruising at 5km/hr

Honestly, that take some skill to do.

Make sure to attach a propane canister or a jerry can to the back of your bike.
