"It's tempting, I know, but one should not hate them just because they are the righteous vegans of the road, freeloaders who use roads built on the hard-working backs of motorists, and who get around without contributing gas taxes, or helping the local automotive industry or anything useful at all. It's tempting to hate them, but we shouldn't. Instead, we should tax them."

I love it when guys like this get going. So now cyclists are stealing roads from the poor, overworked motorists? That's rich. Gas tax alone does not pay for the massive infrastructure that cars require. Not even close. Anyone who pays tax, period, is paying for this huge, and IMO wasteful road network.
