Roads are just for people going to work? Ridiculous. Going to the mall, out to dinner, seeing a movie, visiting Aunt Tilly, fun drive in your 911, none of these are "going to work" yet I imagine you'd like to drive instead of walking.

Only drivers pay for roads? Also false. I looked into this for Portland, in a prior thread, verified that a significant piece of road maintenance funds come from general govt revenue unrelated to fuel or auto registration - in other words, revenue that everyone including bike riders contributes to. Considering that bikes make up a very small percent of the traffic on the roads and contribute pretty much zero to road wear and tear, I think their riders pay enough for public roads.
