>>and if so, the fact that is upsetting is that bikes get a free ride? >Not a free ride, since bikers pay the other taxes that go into road >construction, but a less expensive ride. Yes, this bothers me. I do not understand your arguement. Lets take two single commuters. One owns a car, one owns a car and a bicycle. Both pay taxes on their car. They both pay identical taxes. Both commuters travel 5 miles to work. The first commuter drives to work 5 days a week. The second commuter drives to work three days a week, and rides his bike to work 2 days a week. His car is garaged during these 2 days, it is off the road. If anything, the bicycle owner is paying too many taxes... ________________________________________________________________________ the micron "there ain't no straight lines in 3 dimensional space" my opinions are my own 2DEF4U2NV
