In the Missouri Senate this week Senator Bray from St. Louis introduced SB 400 which would make it illegal to drive or park in a bicycle lane. It would also assess minimum liability to a motorist who negligently stuck a cyclist. Unfortunately, it has no chance of passage for a variety of reasons, mainly political but also that Missouri is not a particularly bicycle friendly state. I would have no problem being assessed a tax on my bicycle for causing damage to the roadways if it was in line with the taxes cars and trucks pay for the same. I figure I would have to round up to a penny.
