And if a tractor is on the road, it's 99% because it has to be on the road. It's not because the farmer is dressed in spandex looking for attention or getting exercise. He's working.
Oh I don't know, a lot of tractors I encounter on the highway could get from farm to farm by taking county dirt roads. Just a little farther and slower. And rougher. But at least I wouldn't be stuck behind them.
Dudes wearing spandex sure does raise a lot of hackles.
That's not all it raises, I imagine.
Im sure most of the cyclists out there have a gas or electric burning auto - (or 2 or 3 of them) that requires taxes and insurance too - and because the demographic is usually not destitute - save for the poor dishwasher riding his bike to work at Waffle House at 3 in the morning - im sure they pay a fair amount
How about you guys with "assault rifles" also pay a special tax to have those? -- Special insurance too?
Kindly propose to people out there trying to improve their health and fitness or just hanging with buddies as they get in a ride that they need to do that after you register all your "deadly" black rifles with the police voluntarily and report it to your insurance company that you would love to have your homeowner's general liability insurance raised too
How about anybody doing anything recreationally that you dont agree with getting a "Special use tax"
Yep - im a cyclist - yes i own guns (even ugly black ones) and like this forum too ----- as a small business owner i pay as much in taxes as 5 schoolteachers
How about we add more taxes? - my right to keep myself fit and in shape is as much of a "God given right" as you old ***** claim the 2nd amendment is
- enjoy yourself

More of those arse clown bicyclist impeding traffic than tractors
Ever purchased a firearm from a FFL, then guess what its registered, I assure you the price you paid for that firearm included a fee for paperwork that the FFL did regarding the 4473 as well.
I paid a large lump sum to the Oklahoma Dept of Wildlife for a combination license, before that I paid yearly for a license and tags, if I want to hunt migratory birds I have to purchase an additional stamp, then there are land access passes for some places I have to purchase as well.
Not to mention every time I buy ammo I pay a tax to the feds to support wildlife conservation so anyone can enjoy the vast wildlife we have, even those who have paid that special tax.
I pay more for my health insurance thru my employer simply due to the fact that to receive a discount I have to submit myself to what I believe are invasive and controlling actions I have to do through out the year. They do offer discounts of gym memberships but none of the participating gyms are in my area.
Every time I pay my phone or internet bull there is a fee called the universal tax, I get to pay money that goes into a fund to give people free phones and free cable, mighty nice of me, oh wait I have no choice in those taxes, its forced upon me by the .gov
My point is all of us pay extra for the things we like to do in life, those who ride bicycles are not special and have no right to impede traffic. Same with joggers who believe they can run in the middle of the road and not have to move for vehicles. Go run at a park, ride your bike at a park, or on a road thats wide enough so you do not impede traffic.
You want respect on the road, then give it.
Could be, kind of depends on where you live I suppose.
I suppose you are going to just ignore cyclists positive impact on climate change?
