If these green,P-head, tree huggers want bicycles to have "equal rights" with car drivers and autos, let the greenies, pay special taxes to pay for it,
(just as the so-called article mentioned).
1. Levy a bicycle excise tax plus local taxes, when buying a bike.
2. Mandate an annual bicylcle registration fee collected by each states', Department of Un Motorized Bikes, DUMB. For example,In Oregon it would be known as
Oregon DUMB or O DUMB. ( No insult intended to senseable people of " The Beaver State".)
3. Charge a enviromental impact fee on bike tires, and bike grease.
4. Collect an enviromental tax (collected when a bicycle is purchased) for the ultimate disposable of the bike when it is junked.
5. Expand on law number three, Make that a special tax on ALL bike parts. (sneak the law up on them).
6. Require all shops servicing and repairing bicycles must be licensed and registered and of course, taxed.
7. Make bicycle riders undergo mandatory training on safe riding practices and be licensed by DUMB.
... And some more oppresive and drastic measures not thought of yet.
