Roads exist because car owners pay for them. I find it strange that politicians capitulate to bicyclists who use roads paid by others. We need to suggest bike registration and use taxes. that should stir interest among politicians. Change the laws to make bicyclists fully comply with road laws. Make them produce an operator's license and registration when stopped by police. That will really irk the commie b@st@rds.
I have three cars and three bikes. Do the taxes I pay for my cars cover me, or should I be charged to ride my bikes on the roads as well?

Roads are funded from a wide variety of sources. Many taxes on auto registration and fuel are actually diverted to other things. Cars and trucks wear roads out. Bikes don't.

Great idea. Let's do it by weight. Pay whatever your vehicle weighs.

They already are. The laws obviously aren't enforced as strictly as against motorists, but do you really want little Timmy getting slapped with a ticket because he coasted through the four way stop between his house and the park? He looked both ways he stopped peddling and braked, but his wheels never actually came to a complete stop. Do you want him tagged? Bone headed cyclists doing things like blowing through red lights are already fully subject to traffic laws, and do get tickets.

Governmental approval to ride and own a little bike? Who's the commie?
