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.
Yes, but that is far less safe, which means less people are willing to take that risk, which means they will choice to go by car instead.
