Bikes are vehicles that can take up a whole lane. To have them walk back the bike lane laws just start using full lanes while on a bicycle.

The problem is, people will still be dying and injured without these lanes. Unfortunately this legislation will likely take a lot of blood to rewrite.

Yeah I learned this first hand in Ontario. I refuse to ride on the road in that province and only ride on sidewalks. When I get questioned by police I cite my right to not follow law that puts me in danger. I found out after following the road laws and being struck by a truckhole with an attitude that OPP will not do shit if you get hit because as a cyclist you are uninsured. Unless you die, its a 'collision' with an uninsured vehicle taking the only damage in their eyes.
