Which I and practically all other adult bicyclists pay. The road fund has a net benefit everytime we use our bicycles. More than enough to cover those who don't own motor vechicles.
The construction costs are high because the roads are built for trucks. Bicycles need a lane 18 inches wide and a surface of fine compacted gravel. Motor vehicles need the thick pavement, thusly motor vehicle taxes pay for it.
I don't want bike paths. They are for drivers who like to drive their bicycle somewhere and then ride slowly in circles for an afternoon.
Wooptie do.
All $0.75 a year or so.
How to pee Off an Arrogant Pedalcyclist 4356Matthew Russotto with If you're interested in finding the pressure that the vehicle puts on the road, you can use a pocket tool: a tire pressure gage. Ignoring the slight effect of tire sidewall...
Motor vehicles need the heavy expensive roads. Not bicycles. I could live with a smooth dirt path that is 'maintained' by constant bicycle travel.
Bicycles don't even need pavement, just a smooth surface. Some of the fastest surface I've ever ridden on was dry dirt.
Without bicyclists there never would have been good roads in the USA.
I often go as fast or faster than cars. Sure, the car might pbutt me mid block, but he's there waiting at the next intersection.
Drivers rutinely exceed the posted speed limits, even in residential areas to cut me off then slam on the brakes to make a stop. They then accelerate a crawl, delaying me.
Oh, and should I use even more of the worse drivers out there and make that the norm? I obey the vehicle code to the letter when riding, and it peees off you anti-bicycle drivers even more. Your kind can't even deal with me holding my turn in the queue at stop light. Getting all peeed off because I am in line ahead of you. Then if I gutter pbutted illegally you'd be all peeed off about that to.
