Once bike lanes started to be built and the bike lane advocates started telling everyone the roads were dangerous to ride in, fewer kids each year were riding their bikes to school.

Pretty clear correlation:
more bike lanes = less kids cycling to school
You and Roody consistently fail to take into account that the number of cars on those same roads has increased dramatically (nearly exponentially) in the last 10 years. Until you take this into account explicitly, then you cannot make a valid argument along these lines.
