>>Don’t like it? build your own roads, with a special bicyle tax, or double your truck tax.

I already pay gas taxes, same as you. A bicycle does no damage to the road.

When a bike blocks traffic, it damages the road’s utility.

Bravo Sierra.

Depends entirely on the road surface. A bicyle's narrow tire does much more damage to a dirt or gravel road than a motor vehicle where the weight is more broadly distributed.

One reason why Wisconsin requires daily or annual permit fees for bicyclists using its rail trail system but allows hikers to use the network for free.
