Yes, that separated, protected lane ABSOLUTELY fights #ClimateChange. HT Copenhagenize.

And air pollution. And inequality. And preventable diseases. And public health cost increases. And energy instability. And cost of living increases. And tax increases. And traffic congestion. And it supports economic development, municipal fiscal success, and allows a lot more trips in a lot less space.

What have I left out?

Building networks of protected bike-lanes is really smart public policy.

@BrentToderian I love bikes! But no, the bike lane does nothing to "fight climate change", it just doesn't worsen it. To fight climate change you must block/remove the car lane. Why is there no writing on the car lane that says "this lane makes the climate collapse"?
And yes, it's climate collapse, not climate change. If someone burns your house down with a flame thrower you don't call it "building change" either.
