Oh OK. If it'll make you feel better I'll donate $5 for my bicycle to my county for property tax.
This is irrelvant for bicyclists. However, you should be thankful bicyclists don't use it, reducing demand and hence your price. Therefore, I am owed $5 for my altruistic use of the bike (this says nothing of the environmental damage that I am avoiding on your behalf).
This cancels out my property tax donation.
But hey, I know that isn't good enough for some of you motorists, so I'm gonna buy a licence plate for my bike from
This way, motorists will be duped into feeling better about me being a vehicle operator. Maybe I'll even have a nice message on it such as COEXIST. Perhaps a message such as EXPECT DELAYS would add comic relief for your frustrations.
