and therefore (c) dirty air from car engines.

(2)For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For
example, they want the city to make special lanes for bicycles only on some of the main streets, because
when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, accidents happen. (3) If there were special lanes,
more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been made. (4) thinks they are a good idea. Taxi drivers don't like
the idea; they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea either;
(5) they say that if there were (5-1) traffic, they would have (5-2) business. And most people
live too far from downtown to travel by bike.
