I’m sure this is gonna piss a lot of people of, but fuckit.

get the bikes off the fucking road, people. No, really. if you are determined to ride a damned bike, ride it on one of the many damned trails there are for that purpose; otherwise, get it off the fucking road.

First of all, bikers are almost to a man/woman rude, obnoxious, don’t follow the rules of the road, and if you should hit one or they hit you, you’re some kind of a goddamned criminal.
Second, while every car that goes on the road is forced to submit to an ever growing and ever more ridiculous list of safety standards, NONE of those standards apply to bicycles. Some places force you to wear a halmet. Big deal. You should have to meet the same safety standards as the things you share the road with.
Third, the bikes don’t pay for the roads. The cars do. The excise tax, and the fuel taxes paid on the car are what provide the roads.

Roads- modern ones, in the US, are made for cars. Making cars share the space with bikes is stupid, causes congestion and trouble, is dangerous to the biker, and never ends well in a collision. When bikes are forced to comply to the same standards as automobiles, and when they are taxed like automobiles and their fuel, they can use that money to make special bike lanes or areas, but in the meantime the ‘Bike lane” is an envirowhacko wetdream that at it’s core is trouble and stupid, and bedienungsfehler. Stop it.
