Farm Gal (RE: 4 bicyclists hit by cars in July): As soon as bicyclists pay for tags which pays for roads, they can have dedicated bicycle lanes. I am all for them having a safe place, including lanes, to ride and commute on, but they never are willing to pay their way and expect motorists to pay for these lanes which slows down and clogs vehicular traffic.

Question: In responding to this under another thread, Arpie pointed out that most bikers also drive cars and are paying their way in two ways -- taxes through the vehicles and gasoline purchases and by reducing cars on the roadways. Thoughts?
