Roadies need licensing just like motorists...many clearly think the rules of the road don’t apply to them, but the laws of physics certainly do.

Keep on running those STOP signs clowns...

A special “fee” or tax on road bikes should be implemented as well in order to get them to pay for this instead of heaping it all on the motorists.

Yeah.....great ideas......tax, regulate, and spend!
I guess you don’t ride a bike or even recreate on one either.
Bikes are not cars in case you haven’t noticed.
I am all for autos and the benefits they bring. But bicyles have benefits too. And auto centric perspectives are limited in scope and application of auto bicycle integration.
Conservation of momentum is very, very important for a bicycle. Next time you see a cyclist......think about the cyclist and what they may do as they approach a stop meant for a 3000 lb machine controlled with less effort than what is required to bend over and tie one’s own shoe.
What a way to stay healthy.......think about that cyclist next time you pay your health care deductible for your diabetic medication.
Why should that healthy cyclist subsidize you!!!!!!!!
