We should remove some bike lanes—it will reduce bike traffic!

The threshold for how many bikes would have to be on one street to cause what could be considered "traffic" is so much higher than cars that I doubt you've ever seen it in this city. And that, once again, is because bike lanes provide higher throughput.
But at this point, you're just trying to avoid admitting that you were wrong. It's cool; induced demand is a somewhat unintuitive concept at first, but we know it for a fact, and it's why there are advocacy groups for bike lanes, which are for multiple forms of micromobility, by the way; not only bikes.

I’m just tossing in a gratuitous joke about the reflexive invocation of induced demand.

Demonstrating your complete lack of understanding, yes.
