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.
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.
I would love if someone else paid for a travel lane just for me so I don't have to deal with rush hour traffic. And when I complain that my special lane is getting dirty, the ones that paid for my special lane gotta come over and take care of it. And I don't have to pay anything for my special lane.
But not only is that messed up, they have the gall to act like what they got for free is some sort of right or entitlement that they are owed. And complain about its condition. So I gotta get outta their way.
That is very messed up.
