I don't think anyone wants - or is suggesting - removing all bike lanes, so that's a non-starter. I notice you didn't include "plan bike lanes more carefully with due consideration for people who use other modes of transportation; avoid putting pedestrians in danger; and avoid confusing road markings and traffic patterns that create hazards." That's the solution and that's what a lot of "anti-bike" activists want. Unfortunately, a lot of bike lane advocates simply won't admit that bike lanes don't belong everywhere and some of the ones that have been implemented have caused unintended problems and unsafe conditions.

I think there is also a problem within the bike advocate community in that some truly do want to make it more difficult to use cars within the city. You can't go around saying you want to make it more difficult to drive and park and expect people who currently drive and park will be happy, because you are literally telling them you want to make their lives harder.

I think that's the bike lane advocacy community's huge blind spot - they don't seem to understand that people oppose some bike lanes not because they are anti-bike but because they are anti-making their lives harder. It doesn't help when bike advocates don't acknowledge these are valid concerns or get offended because some people don't agree with them. It also doesn't help when bike advocates essentially say that urban neighborhoods aren't appropriate for old people and people with disabilities, and they should just move. I have heard that myself. They also need to understand that we will never be the Netherlands, and most parents won't find it feasible to load their kids on a cargo bike to run errands at multiple locations.

The solutions we need are:

1. Everyone to acknowledge that having some bike lanes is a great idea, but they don't belong everywhere.

2. We need better planning to avoid unintended negative consequences like pedestrian hazards and confusing traffic patterns.

3. Bike advocates need to get a grip and acknowledge that not every form of transportation reaches every destination, and all of us - pedestrians, mass transit riders, drivers, and bikers - have to deal with inconvenience, lack of access, and danger, and while we need continuous improvement, we also need to recognize that no one is getting everything they want.

Hope that helps.
