we pay enough in taxes already... stop giveing government more tax ideas just because you hate a segment of the road going public.
I ride a bike and I pay all my taxes... including those that maintain the roads...
I don't "hate a segment of the road going public". I ride a bike too, and generally support the "share the road" stuff, including "bike lanes" in traffic and so on. I taught my daughter to ride, and we have biked together quite a bit in recent years.
But we do so with a sense of personal safety and courtesy.
What I don't like are cyclists who ramp up the righteous indignation about cars, and think that it's their right to get in my way just because they don't have an engine on their vehicle. I live where there is a huge cycling population, and most have no common sense at all about courtesy or safety. They get all huffy if you suggest that maybe they ought to not be competing in the main (auto) lanes and weaving all over between cars just "because they can". It's asking for injury, and of course it's always the car-driver's fault...
I presume you, as a FReeper, are in the "safety-conscious" and "courteous" minority, so please don't take the above complaint personally, as it's not meant that way. ;-)
