Right cuz cyclists are totally paying the road fees to keep the road maintained even they don't cause any damages at all. What was it called? Ah yes. Taxes
Didn’t argue that it requires more for a car hence why Registration is a lot more. If it was taxes in general and only for bikes it would not be built for cars to use either. You have to share it. Just like you expect them to share with bikes.
And speaking of taxes : Just like you expect transit such as buses to also exist for people moving. Which is also paid by taxes and bikes should also have to share with them. if you put a bus or any emergency vehicle in place of that car in that cartoon, those cyclists are the bigger asshole in the equation.
I’m all for cutting down emissions but putting people in danger or doubling down inconsideration is a foolish, abusive and negligent stance to be taking.
Except pedestrians and cyclists subsidize the roads through taxes while cars wouldn't even break even with high cost of road maintenance. This is not including the insane parking requirements that most US cities have.
Go shift your goalposts somewhere else. You said cyclists didn't pay for roads. You're wrong. Now leave, thx.
Taxes pay for busses. Share with the busses.
