I'm a rider, and I do, every time I fuel up. To the tune of about 1500 gallons a year. I'm certainly not the only cyclist in this situation.

Furthermore, being as I'm in CA, I probably pay a metric s--t ton more road taxes than you do annually. So as you're not carrying your weight, how about you get off my road?



So by that logic, because we have a car that we pay fuel taxes on, I should be able to buy untaxed diesel for my truck and drive it on the roads.

Try again...


What logic? Whelanman applied zero. I responded in kind.

As for your untaxed diesel fuel. I do believe that farm equipment often uses roads in a bunch of localities, without paying that pesky road tax. Why aren't you/Whelanman/everyone else on the "cyclists don't pay road taxes" bandwagon up in arms about that?
