MODERATORS
It would make sense that the ones doing the majority of the damage to the roads (cars) should be the ones paying for it.
Also, cyclists taxes pay for things like public parking even though we never use it.
I do. I have both vehicles. So do many cyclists also own cars. And most people may need an ambulance or may take transit .
Just cuz you personally think you don’t use something doesn’t absolve that you could still benefit from it just cuz there’s a majority who made it possible. you benefit from vehicles paying a fuel tax. You could also benefit from emergency and transit vehicles having a road to drive on if you had to ever have to be in one. That fuel moving your body is paying for the road.

Now you say
What are you trying to say? Are you saying that you block emergency vehicles like an inconsiderate pos when you are riding a bike but immediately pull over and act like a sensible person when you are driving? Is that what you're trying to say?
