Did you ever consider that those cyclists you claim don't pay fuel taxes more than likely also own and drive motor vehicles? Yes, I have. But when they are riding on their bike, on that shoulder, or that trail through the woods or along that river, that bike didn't pay for any of what they are riding on. Have you ever done any research into how roads are funded? Here's one article. https://momentummag.com/free-rider-myth/Along with many more. https://www.google.com/search?q=do+...404j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Where I biked on 25 mph county roads, most of the money for roads comes from property taxes, not gas taxes.
The average motorist pays $5/day in gas taxes.
I pay about $50/day in property tax on my home.
Don't tell me I don't have a right to bike on county roads.

I have a number of passtimes and hobbies and engage in social media for all of them.
Kayaking
Boating
Fishing
Hunting
Shooting
Bicycling
Motorcycling
Without question cyclists are the nerdiest/quirkiest of all those groups. Today my wife and I did a 15 mile road. The route was mixed between subdivisions, bicycle lanes and dedicated bike trails. The dedicated trail is wide enough to go 3 riders wide, but it's tight. When I ride with my wife I ride beside her. I pull ahead of her or drop behind her when a rider comes from ahead or behind. I keep my head on a swivel and go single file well ahead of the arrival of another rider.
Today I looked behind me and saw another rider coming. When he was several hundred yards back, I pulled in ahead of my wife. He passed about a minute after I did and said "ride single file." Not sure I heard him right I asked "what did you say?" He said "ride single file." I laid into him. "I was single file you dumb mother ffuukker." He snarked back "you weren't" I said "I singled up well before you got here you goddam dumb mother ffuukker."
Meh, it wasn't any skin off my back telling him what I thought. I asked my wife if that embarrassed her when I said stuff like that. She said not when you say it to an idiot mother ffuukker.

He is the typical rager. Most ragers check multiple boxes in the following demographics.
Middle age

What's really interesting is that blacks rarely ever get bent out of shape. what a pile of horse chit. laughing. You ask the question in the first place, and then show just how agenda driven you really are. Folks know all about their rights, but seem to care little about their responsibilities. Your black folks must be different than the black folks here. Just saying...........

Ride on the extreme right. You get as much clearance as a parked car, no more, no less.

Too bad he couldn't persuade the justice system he didn't do it out of malice.

Did you ever consider that those cyclists you claim don't pay fuel taxes more than likely also own and drive motor vehicles? They pay fuel taxes when they drive a gas or diesel powered vehicle. But when they are riding on their bike, on that shoulder, or that trail through the woods or along that river, that bike didn't pay for any of what they are riding on. Something else did. So with that logic, pedestrians have no right to walk down that shoulder or trail because they aren't burning gas or deisel. Got it - makes perfect sense... Wish I would have known that when I was a kid delivering newspapers on my bike riding on public roads, or when I had to take my vehicle in for repairs so rode my bike to work as I had no other transportation, or had to walk a couple miles down the shoulder of the road when my vehicle broke down. I sure feel enlightened now... Don't get me wrong - I've seen cyclists I felt deserved to get their asses run over. I do ride a bike on roads and trails and am very considerate of motorists - fortunately where I live and ride, motorists treat me the same way and I've never experienced the hostility towards cyclists that's expressed here. Carry on - don't give a chit one way or the other...

Bicyclists have never bothered me any but we don't have many around here. Those Amish with their damn buggies going 10 mph on a winding road are a huge PITA though. Cheap fuggers aughtta get with the program and buy a car.
