"It seems by adding those little 3 words you want to impose some similar "suffering" on others that you may have experienced."

Exactly. This is part of the 'price' for using the road that
I must pay. Why should cyclists get the same priviledges without paying the price?

" Why should cyclists get the same priviledges without paying the price?"

Why should I suffer the inflation and economic hardship from all the money going out to buy oil keeping import/export balance of trade deficits in rosey red ink?

Oil addiction has dep denial to it, as you show here. We should have a twelve step program for folks like you. Get help, it's not too late to stop feeding dollars to Arabs making America weaker.

If there were less tootsieroll pops on the road - macho hard auto steel on the outside, soft swishy out of shape fatty on the inside behind the wheel - health care costs would be lower.

Get a clue - or at least buy a vowel - about the real trgedy of dollars and capital regarding cars and bikes.

I've paid that price too. My car has tags. Last time I got tags was 10 years ago though. I can see why cars need tags but they are of little value for a bike.
