Wrong. Virtually everyone who commutes by bike also owns a car and pays the taxes you’re describing. Also, gas taxes pay only a portion of the bill for infrastructure and maintenance. Most of it comes from federal sources, meaning general tax revenue. Since recreational cyclists have a higher HHI than average, that…

If it’s not a state highway, it gets very little gas tax money. Local property and sales taxes provide the overwhelming majority of revenue for local street construction and maintenance.

You should probably inform yourself on the taxes that pay for roads. I’ll give you a hint, car drivers get a pretty sweet deal.

I'm pretty sure gas taxes don't even remotely cover road maintenance.

OK, we get it - you have no idea how roads are payed for. Try a google search, learn something today.

Ban all guns. Make them illegal to posses. Getting caught with one is an automatic jail sentence. This nonsense has gone on for too long. This amendment was authored by people who were okay with slavery. It does not, and should not, translate to 2015 America

This all sounds eerily close to my experience working as a low level executive at a big nonprofit over 4 years. Considering that GM basically was a de facto healthcare & retirement nonprofit organization for years, I guess that shouldn't be surprising.

If you're gonna say stupid shit like this, how about siting a source?

Last time I checked, roads were actually called for by bicyclists, before the invention of the car.

Bikes don't come out of thin air. They are manufactured as well. The joke you are missing are the ones billionaire oil industry CEOs tell each other about the suckers who line up to pay money to get bent over at the gas pump on a weekly basis.

Look it up, chief. In cities in China, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands around 50% of trips are done on bikes. You really think their roads and mass transit systems could handle DOUBLE the amount of people?

If all the people who use a bike as transportation stopped tomorrow every major city in the world would become a shit fest. Traffic would become unbearable with former bikers now in cars. Parking would be impossible. Gas prices would skyrocket. Buses and subway systems would be overwhelmed. Obesity rates would…

First gen Isuzu Trooper. Had it just not eaten its valves every 25,000 miles, I'd still have it.
