A student argues that the city should build more protected bike lanes near schools. The claim is that protected lanes would make commuting safer and encourage healthier habits. The student gives reasons: cars move quickly during drop-off, many students already bike but feel unsafe, and protected lanes reduce conflicts between bikes and cars. As evidence, the student references local traffic reports showing that most near-school crashes happen at busy intersections and mentions that cities with protected lanes report fewer cyclist injuries. The student considers a counterclaim: bike lanes cost money and may remove parking. The student responds that safety improvements prevent costly accidents and that the city can begin with the most dangerous routes first.
A concluding sentence is drafted below:
"In conclusion, protected bike lanes are a good idea because biking is fun."
What is the main weakness of this conclusion?
