For the record, bicyclists pay the same income tax and property tax that we would pay whether or not they we pedalled, most also pay registration on one or more motor vehicles, and in my case, my share of fuel tax for my MVs and plenty of fuel tax for wifey`s car. Road maintenance money comes from all those sources.

I`ll also note that I don`t have or intend to have any children, but still pay the same amount towards educating OP`s kids that I would pay if I had a whole heard of `em. That`s life.
