I think their claim is that bike lanes mean that you’re permanently blocking that parking lane off so you can’t have 2 lanes instead of 1, or forgetting that the second lane is normally parking spaces. I think my favorite bit of all of this is all the videos of bike lanes without stop and go bikes where drivers record and say “no one’s using them!”

There’s pretty solid research about these things from the past 30 years or so. At this point, ignoring literature is just rank anti-intellectualism.

Good luck, sounds like you’re going to need it.
