Bull. I owned a small O/O trucking company, and the registration fees and the road taxes I paid on heavy trucks were absolutely higher than any car.

I am aware of that. So let them drive their cars, and quit impeding traffic.
So, ~27% of road funding comes from general taxation. Show me a chart that shows exactly how much money one bicyclist contributed to the road funding, and why he should be allowed to impede everyone else on the road.

Most people are taught as children that they should not play in the road.
Bicycles belong in a bike lane, paid for by bicyclists. Or on a bike path.
Not on a highway.
