>>They don’t sit a driver’s license, they don’t have to register their vehicles, they don’t have to keep their vehicles roadworthy, they don’t pay road taxes, and they don’t have to carry insurance. Yet they get identical rights on the roads that others have paid for as motor vehicles.
Cyclists are freeloaders of the worst sort.<<
Almost every cyclist I know owns at least one car. The wear and tear cycles put on roads are similar to the wear pedestrians put on roads. That is one reason they are not taxed. But hey, if you want to pay tax for your kids bikes every year...
Cyclists may not impose significant wear on the roads, but they do have to be looked out for and have bike lanes provided in many areas. My solution would be to impose a modest road tax on cyclists, with an exemption for those who also own cars. The tax would then fall specifically on the ideological Critical Massholes.
