I drive, mostly in the outer boroughs. I bought a car about 3 years ago for my non profit volunteer gig. I have NEVER once sat in traffic and said to myself...damn bike lanes are causing this. Literally never once. It's always some double parked car or truck holding up an entire block of too many cars. Or it's just too many cars going to the same chokepoint like a bridge or tunnel not obeying traffic laws and jamming up intersections for people trying to get across it. The worst traffic in the city is on roads without bike lanes...the BQE, the LIE, 11th Ave. A lot of the times I get off the roads with bike lanes and get on roads with bike lanes to avoid traffic. Blaming bike lanes for traffic is kind of like blaming aliens or a zombie hoard. Sure you can...but that doesn't make it real.
