Wear to the road isn't the only consideration. If there's no separate bicycle path, they take up space on the road and slow down traffic. Cyclists should pay for the privilege of sharing the road with more efficient vehicles.

- zolbrek 3y agoWe already pay our emissions tax in Germany.
- petre 3y agoOf course, we pay as well. It's in the fuel. And in the vehicle tax. But did you ever ask yourself where those taxes go to? I'd rather they went into sustainable transportation, for instance the new 45€ train ticket as opposed to the bureaucrats' salaries.

The congestion + noise + safety issues mean motorists are causing orders of magnitudes more negative externalities than any other transportation methods.
