![[75] There is much that is wrong with this reasoning. It minimizes the purpose of the legislation, in effect trivializing it by characterizing it as saving some drivers a few minutes rather than reducing traffic congestion, which may in turn result in a wide range of positive effects. At the same time, it inflates the negative effects of removing the bicycle lanes, talking of injuries and deaths that will occur only if the bicyclists choose to ride on the roads that have no bicycle lanes – a situation that obtains on roads throughout the province.
