“Cyclists are freeloaders of the worst sort.”

Yeah those bicycles really tear up that pavement.

Most cyclists are also drivers. They pay their share.

No they don’t but someone has to pay for them and bikes sure don’t.

No they don’t. Funding for roads largely comes from gas taxes. If you aren’t using gas then you are getting a free ride.

Yes, but they also seem to think they operate under a different set of rules than the drivers of *real* vehicles, such as not running red lights, stop signs, driving over painted center dividers, riding against traffic, on sidewalks, in crosswalks, etc.
