Those stupid cage drivers pay through gas and vehicle taxes for the road you like to ride on.

We pay the same taxes ...

And would you want to guess the percentage of freight hauled by motorcycles? How much "freight is hauled by a Toyota ?

Or how many people are rushed to the hospital by motorcycle? I've rushed me to the hospital on my bike

Do you take the motorcycle grocery shopping? ALL the time

Carpool? Bikes are considered a HOV and can use the diamond lanes

Load it up for a trip to grandma's or the zoo with the kids? ALL the time

If it breaks down will it be towed to the shop by a motorcycle? You gonna tow your broke down cage with your Toyota ?

Who's the elitist here ?

Who’s the elitist here ?

I think you are, as the one who feels entitled to rules of the road unavailable to others, for no other reason than your sense of convenience.

Seeing as how I am one of maybe 100 million "cage" drivers who just want to get from home to work,shopping,events, or errands safely,I feel pretty common.

I'm not the one demanding special privileges.

Incidentally I recall safety studies that concluded accidents are much less likely if all vehicles are traveling at the same speed ,so 80 mph motorcycles threading through 30 mph car traffic is unwise.

Eeevil cage driver here. I’m not sure I’d want to start riding a bike at 43 (reflexes).
