Cyclists typically do not just ride bicycles.
They pay taxes when they fuel their cars, like anyone else.

I'm aware of that, but I was pointing out that bike trails generally have to be (or should be, anyway) funded by means other than road taxes. It's not fair, IMHO, to have highway funds siphoned off for the enjoyment of a few cyclists. I say this as cyclist and a motorist.
