On any measure it's disproportional and punitive. That's the only reason for this tax arguement anyway. Because of the costs motoring has, you now expect bicycling to provide funds, when bicycling doesn't need anything even close to the roads that are built. You seem to think by size, popularity, and some weird idea that taxes paid give privilege that bicyclists should be removed from the road.
Ya know, maybe this should be extended to other facets of life. I pay a lot of money in taxes. I should be able to shove those who pay less than me out of my way. That would be well over 50% of the population. Life would be so much easier that way. It would make paying the taxes worth it.
Name them. IL doesn't.
Oh, you can take away other people's freedoms, but yours are sacred. Typical. Which control freak party to you align yourself with?
I take the lane when it's legal and needed. Like making left turns. And you might be angry with people who nearly kill you too. Case in point, tonight, 4 lane road, jersey-looking-mobster type in a lincoln decides he doesn't like me on the road. Forget we are the only two within a block either way, he's got to teach me not to use to the road.
Yet you disapprove of them.
Most do.
A vehicular bicyclist rides like I do. Not in gutters or wrong way or whatever.
I am as perfect on a bicycle as I am behind the wheel.
It's not free. I'm paying far in excess of other road users when using a bicycle for the resources consumed.
Your semantics. Nothing more.
