‘You seem to think we bicyclists don’t own cars and we pay absolutely no taxes whatsoever.”

You still don’t get it. Roads are maintained by a use tax. The more gas you use the more tax you pay.

BTW - I ride a lot but don’t expect people to get out of my way. I ride like they can’t see me. Farthest I ever went in one day was 112 miles, although I couldn’t do that much now.

I’ve also lived in Asia where they have lots of bikes and motorcycles. They don’t use them to be green. They use them because they can’t afford anything else. Thats where these freaks wanna take us.

I ride a lot, too. I have two rules when I ride. I ride like I’m invisible and I assume every car out there is trying to hit me.

I also drive a lot. Goes with my job.
