Bike lanes reduce congestion by giving people other options than travelling by car. Their removal is certain to increase congestion, especially in more densely populated areas where you normally put bike lanes down.

Don't forget that people will still bike without bike lanes. Now the cars are behind the bikes and can't get past because there isn't room.
