However my city has extended that policy to converting road lanes to
bicycle lanes. Now we have unused portions of road and the traffic goes
even slower, producing even more polution.

Bike lanes are interesting. I saw a study a while back that suggests a
net *increase* in car/bike accidents when bike lanes are present.

That information has been out there since at least the early 1970s, from
of all places some studies done for the L.A.W. (League of American
Wheelmen, which was one of the very first bicycle advocacy organizations
from the 1890s.)

Of course, I live in Orlando, the most dangerous US city for bikes and
pedestrians, so it's a fairly moot point...
