Well, not entirely true, but it often lingers in public discourse. Bicycles belong in the city and aren\u2019t to blame for traffic jams. So what else are urban cyclists unfairly accused of?<\/h4>\n<h4>\u201cBike lanes slow down other traffic and create congestion!\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>A 2016 <a href=\"https:\/\/epub.wupperinst.org\/frontdoor\/deliver\/index\/docId\/6597\/file\/6597_Reducing_Congestion.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> examined traffic jams in several cities worldwide. For example, in New York, data showed that in 2010\u2014before bike lanes were installed on a major downtown artery\u2014it took the average car 4.5 minutes to travel from 96th Street to 77th Street. After the bike lanes were installed, it took only 3 minutes\u2014a 35% decrease. One reason was the creation of left-turn lanes.<\/p>\n<p>In Copenhagen, the high number of bicycles actually facilitates essential motor traffic such as delivery trucks, buses, and tradespeople. Bikes are used so frequently that the city had to add additional cycling corridors to accommodate everyone.<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cNobody uses bike lanes!\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>That\u2019s not true. For example, over 500,000 cyclists pass through Povltavsk\u00e1 Street annually, and 580,000 through Mod\u0159ansk\u00e1 Street. You might not see bike \u201ctraffic jams\u201d like car traffic\u2014but that\u2019s because bike lanes work. They move people quickly and cleanly. When safe infrastructure is built, cyclists come. Build it, and they will come.<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cBike lanes take up too much space and make streets more dangerous!\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>On the contrary\u2014they make streets safer for everyone. Data don\u2019t lie: streets with protected bike lanes usually see fewer accidents, benefiting drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. When everyone knows their space, roads function more smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, drivers might have to slow down a bit\u2014but that\u2019s not inconvenience; that\u2019s safety. If you\u2019re annoyed by weaving cyclists, protected bike lanes are the solution\u2014whether fully separated or using posts, speed bumps, or other measures. They reduce confusion, increase predictability, and lower tension for all road users.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_42821\" style=\"width: 1170px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42821\" class=\"wp-image-42821 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/auto-mat.cz\/app\/uploads\/markus-spiske-3ieodmrsfu8-unsplash-1160x773.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1160\" height=\"773\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-42821\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bike lane is better than nothing<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>\u201cCyclists don\u2019t pay for the roads!\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>Ah yes, the old \u201cfreeloader\u201d myth. It\u2019s time to put it to rest. Most local roads\u2014the ones we ride on\u2014are funded from general taxes, such as income tax, property tax, or VAT. These aren\u2019t user fees, which means that whether you drive or not, you contribute to road maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, most cyclists also drive cars, paying registration fees and fuel taxes. Many cyclists are effectively subsidizing motorists, while causing less wear and tear, taking up less space, and producing fewer emissions.<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cThey should have licenses and insurance like motorists!\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>Cyclist registration systems have been tried in the past\u2014and scrapped. They are expensive, hard to enforce, and don\u2019t improve safety. Unlike vehicles weighing over 1.5 tons, bikes are not deadly weapons. That\u2019s why we regulate drivers, not cyclists.<\/p>\n<p>And what about those who cycle and drive? Car insurance often covers incidents on a bike, and cyclists in many countries can already be fined or even receive penalty points. The system works\u2014no extra bureaucracy is needed.<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cCyclists never follow the rules!\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>Most cyclists do follow the rules. There is no statistic showing that they break laws more than car drivers. Studies show that everyone\u2014drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians\u2014violates traffic regulations. For instance, a 2020 study in Colorado found that 7\u20139% of both cyclists and drivers broke rules.<\/p>\n<p>The difference is motivation: cyclists sometimes ride on sidewalks or crosswalks for safety reasons\u2014to be more visible or avoid dangerous spots. Drivers usually break rules to save time. And the consequences? Riding on a sidewalk might annoy someone; an SUV hitting someone can be tragic. Context\u2014and weight\u2014matters.<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cWhy don\u2019t they just ride on sidewalks or bike paths?\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>Because it\u2019s often unsafe and illegal. In most cities, cycling on sidewalks is prohibited unless explicitly allowed. Sidewalk cycling is dangerous for both pedestrians and cyclists.<\/p>\n<p>As for bike paths\u2014they\u2019re great, but they don\u2019t go everywhere. They don\u2019t connect schools, shops, or workplaces. Imagine if cars were only allowed on highways\u2014why expect cyclists to stick only to riverside paths?<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cBike lanes hurt small businesses by taking parking spaces!\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>This claim is widespread\u2014and completely wrong. Research shows that bike lanes often improve business conditions. Cyclists shop more frequently than drivers, and one car parking space can be replaced with bike racks for 10 bikes. More people on the street = more money spent locally.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it: a cyclist can stop anytime, park right at the door, and carry shopping in panniers or on a cargo bike. Far from being a threat, cyclists can be a lifeline for small businesses.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_42822\" style=\"width: 1170px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42822\" class=\"wp-image-42822 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/auto-mat.cz\/app\/uploads\/mary-skrynnikova-l1hiyfczfcs-unsplash-1160x828.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1160\" height=\"828\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-42822\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The more bikes, the better for the local economy.<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>\u201cHelmets should be mandatory!\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>Helmets do reduce the risk of injury\u2014yes. But making them mandatory can have the opposite effect. They discourage casual cycling, reduce the use of shared bikes, and are often unfairly used for victim blaming. If you truly care about cyclist safety, the best step is protected bike lanes, not policing gear. Let\u2019s focus on preventing accidents, not just surviving them.<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cCycling is only for rich guys in Lycra.\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>Not anymore\u2014and honestly, it never really was. A bike is a tool for empowerment and mobility. It\u2019s affordable, accessible, and increasingly inclusive. The real issue isn\u2019t who rides, but who feels safe enough to start riding at all. Better infrastructure brings more people onto bikes\u2014not just the bravest or those in sportswear.<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cThe city is too hilly \/ cold \/ rainy \/ insert excuse.\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>E-bikes and modern gear have changed everything. Hills? Solved. Rain? Just wear a jacket. Snow? Cities like Copenhagen, Montreal, and Brussels show that year-round cycling is possible. You don\u2019t have to go everywhere\u2014but for short trips around your neighborhood? Most people can do more than they think.<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cWe can\u2019t expect everyone to cycle!\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>Correct. But that\u2019s not the point. Not everyone can or wants to cycle. But some can\u2014and they do. They deserve a safe, efficient, and affordable way to get around, just like public transit users or drivers. It\u2019s about freedom of choice and supporting sustainable, zero-emission, healthy mobility, not forcing anyone out of their car.<\/p>\n<h4>Final thought: Bikes are not the problem. They are part of the solution.<\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019re frustrated with traffic, air pollution, high costs of living, lack of parking, or dangerous streets\u2026 bikes aren\u2019t your enemy. They\u2019re your ally. Making space for them isn\u2019t punishment\u2014it\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n<p>So next time someone launches the usual anti-cycling tirade, smile. You\u2019ve got the facts, numbers, and stories\u2014and you can ride past them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you like what we\u2019re doing at AutoMat?
