We don't advocate against bike lanes as much as we advocate against the invalid arguments made in their support.

Whether bike lanes actually incresae the amount of bicycle traffic is NOT known by anyone.
If they do, it is by some small and probably insignificant amount (not significant enough to show up in any study) relative to the amount of problems they cause for cyclists.
