  Do car owners not have to pay any kind of tax supporting said public spaces?!?

  Not in proportion to their fair share!

    How much gas tax, or registration tax do you pay to support the roads you are using?

      You mean, as a cyclist? $0, and I’m still subsidizing you even at that price!

        Ok, 1 that is a very obviously biased site.

        2, where are they getting their numbers? They cite a Canadian site, and I can not find those numbers on that site.

        So are we in Utah or Canada here?

        3. Just to be clear, I don’t believe the first site at all, I can make up whatever number they want.

        4. If it is true, then thanks!

        Too bad. You are not entitled to impose the costs of your bycicle on the rest of society. And the article is complete bollocks ur taxes that go to roads isnt for the impact u have on it its for the goods and services that travel those roads that u consume. The cost u impose on the road in terms of ware is neglegable compared to trucks etc that deliver goods and services to you.

        If i can afford private health care why should my taxes go to funding people who cant? That is your exact argument why should u have to pay the cost of a functioning society when ur not using the things its providing. Its literaly i dont need X why should anyone else be given X. Its an argument based in nothing but personal greed. Do u wanna end up like america its the worlds greatest 3rd world country.
