> the ones who actually pay for such infrastructure Motor vehicle user fees pay for less than half of the road infrastructure. Everyone is paying for the roads through property taxes. (Even if indirectly through rent.) Many people with a bicycle also have a car. Cars require significantly more space than bicycles, cause more road wear, and car crashes tend to require more from emergency services than bike crashes, so any fees for bikes should be scaled appropriately - and remember that those without a motor vehicle are already contributing to road infrastructure. Motor vehicle traffic isn't a fixed value. If it's harder to drive somewhere, fewer people will drive. Sometimes removing traffic lanes increases traffic capacity. https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2019/4/18/mr-go https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2019/4/18/mr-go
