Bikes are taxed much more highly than cars.
Never heard of that before. Please enlighten me.
Are you saying that the sales tax rate (percentage) is higher on bicycle sales than the percentage applied to automobile/private truck purchases in your state/municipality? Or that there is no sales tax at all on auto purchases but there is for bicycle sales?
