Bicycles are toys. Don't like that? Well, do they pay tag sees, do they have liability insurance?
Do bicyclists contribute anything other than dripping sweat and danger of being crushed? In Phoenix, it's rare to see anyone bicycling at night with a light or any kind of reflector. They're invisible, and frequently ride against traffic.
Pay to play. The streets wete not designed for bicycles, nor should they be accomondating.
Get a licence to ride it, get tags for it, and while you're at it, pay a extra fee for the heck of it.. Like maybe five bucks to put air in your tires.. Make up for what motorists have to deal with financialy, and maybe then you can bitch. Big Dogs Rule, lycra-wearers.
