I love some of the arguments in the artical that drivers say that cyclists don't pay taxes, have no insurance and aren't licensed. I would think the VAST majority of all cyclists also carry a drivers license, auto insurance and at least in IL, we fork over our $98 bucks a year for for a little sticker we put on our plates. Not to mention we are insured in other ways as well, most carry homeowners insurance or renters insurance with carries personal liability on it as well.

And the taxes argument really makes me laugh, unless you're dodging Uncle Sam every April, my taxes help pay for the roads. Very little tax payer money from license and plate renewal actually go toward road improvment. Most come from local property tax and federal taxes.
