Comment on A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us.
grue@lemmy.world 8 months agoSpeaking of road tax, you know that bad-faith argument about how cyclists need to pay our “fair share?” Well, I would be happy to pay 1¢ for my 10 kg bicycle if everybody with a car had to pay fairly by weight^4^,

Maybe it’s because I don’t really know anyone passionate on either side of this issue, but I’ve never heard of this argument. I know you said it’s a bad faith argument, but I can’t really imagine what a cyclist’s fair share would be aside from maybe widening a road to add a bike lane lol

You see it a lot on in the comment sections of local newspapers or the city specific subs on Reddit.

Makes sense, that’s where my local NIMBYs hang too.
