Poorly implemented bike lanes do create a lot of congestion though.

My city just half assed bike lanes so one street has them and others do not, with bikes having to constantly enter and leave vehicle lanes as bike lanes appear and then disappear.

This just leads to less people using bikes and then the bike lanes that are installed go unused while taking up space from the road.

Either go all in on bike lanes or don't, stop half assing it city planners.

Just because you made a bike lane doesn't mean you are a green city, the lanes actually have to be used!

Cars are only thing that creates congestion.
