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.

Research across many cities shows that when bike infrastructure is built, cycling increases significantly. In some cities, cycling infrastructure expansion is linked to tens of thousands of additional kilometers cycled per year and Protected bike lanes specifically show the strongest increase in ridership compared to painted only lanes that motorcycle drivers actively drive on and ruin the cycling experience

With the increasing demand and surging oil prices following the war in Iran, it is imperative that we shift toward alternative modes of transportation such as public transit, electric vehicles, and, as mentioned in the question, bicycles. Making these options more convenient and accessible for the public will encourage greater use of non–oil-based transport systems and reduce reliance on gasoline-powered vehicles.
