I'm all for registration and mandatory insurance for riding on the road, maybe even a test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) As a old white conservative guy that hates many taxes I agree with this tax. We pay taxes on gas and our plates to help pay for roads. Oregon has a huge network of bike lanes and stuff, it has to be paid for somehow.

motocat12 Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 The program to collect tax will cost more than the taxes collected. How does what feel? having 25% users illegally uninsured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I don't know, most bike paths seem to be put in as cheap as possible with no budget planned for repairs once they start falling apart of their own accord/paved too close to trees with shallow roots.

I didn't break it. Use smarter transport instead of busting my balls for not being part of the problem. Their repairs should cost less, therefore not need such a tax increase. You're conservativing wrong. You are mathing wrong. They are not paying anywhere near the same taxes as a car. Plates, sales tax and gas tax. They are only paying 15 bucks ONCE on the sale of a new bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zx3vfr Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 My argument for required insurance to ride on a road rests, https://drivetribe.com/p/cyclist-runs-a-red-light-and-survives-HJ7tGnNWRgmButKJxPXuSw?iid=aTgaEZVcTTucBcEW9Mz4Xg&utm_campaign=main+&utm_medium=fb&utm_source=organic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72beetle Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 "Bicyclists don't pay road tax" is a bullshit argument. MOST bicyclists also own a vehicle that they already paid road tax on. Yes, I said most, there are exceptions, but not very common. Maybe we should have a "Walker's tax" for people that walk on the sidewalk. Put a tax receipt (License plate) on your ass. Damn I should be a politician. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Made me think... a lot of cities and campuses require at least registration. Can get a ticket if you don't. I never registered a bicycle, nor ever got a ticket... More likely to get the ticket for no lights at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a little Strawberry Shortcake tape player with a strawberry microphone built into it. Use to carry that thing around and "blast" Thriller and Beat It. We had this annoying neighbor that always came over and my mom would mske me play toys with him. Hated that kid. Hated. Him. That ginger puke dubbed over my Thriller tape with his shrill, half-blooded Irish, probably an alcoholic by his teens, voice and ruined my childhood. Yes. He mouth-fucked my MJ and I paid the Vincient Price. Fuck him and the Irish. If MJ would have gotten hold of you as a child, he would have personally mouth-fu@ked you! Would have given you new meanings for "Thriller" and "Beat-it" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
