I want to print up a bunch of stickers to put on the Colorado signs that say, “Share the road,” with a picture of a bicycle next to a car.
These stickers will say:
“SHARE THE TAX BURDEN!”
We have thousands of miles of taxpayer-funded bicycle paths out of the way of traffic in Colorado.
They should use those.
The problem is that many people don't just use bikes for recreation, but also for transportation. They need to get places, just like you do in your car.
Also, the vast majority of bicyclists also drive cars, pay gasoline tax and income tax, etc. There is no division you can draw between taxpayers and cyclists.
