I use a bike for 90% of my travel time and I have a (smallish) libertarian streak too. It galls me that there's such enormous subsidies to vehicle drivers, with a simultaneous refusal from government to invest even 1-2% of that amount towards safe cycling infrastructure. And I say invest (rather than spend), because said infrastructure has been shown every time to generate a profit once you include the health benefits, etc.

- valuearb 9y agoI'm in favor of higher gas taxes if not diverted to mass transit. And toll roads, especially private toll roads. And abolishing the DOT.
