God forbid bicyclists use the roads they helped pay for.

Tell you what, drivers — when you pay tolls to cover the complete cost to build and maintain roads, you can exclude whomever you want.

Joggers pay taxes, too. Do they get to run track along a 35 zone?

So cars should be able to drive on bike lanes?

They sure fucking do. Literally every day I see one parked in the bicycle lane.

Well I guess that's ok then.

If there's literally a bike lane along the road, there's no reason to use the road on a bike unless you're an asshole.

I do pay the water company, which doesn't give me the right to throw wet wipes down the toilet.

I do pay a waste management tax. That doesn't give me the right to throw dogshit in the paper container.

We all pay to build bike lanes. Since people using bike lanes helps both cyclists and drivers. Just use the damn bike lane if there is one.
