Our transportation network sucks balls. At least build housing near the shopping areas so people don’t have to drive.

This is by design: you're supposed to spend money for a car, gasoline, insurance, registration, etc. like a good consumer.

IDK about the US, but in Ontario you do not need a licence to operate tractors or farm equipment. If the driver is less than 16 they are only allowed to drive across the road, not along it.
Because the canadian legal system is a joke, all heavy equipment is legally considered farm equipment, so it is perfectly legal for unlicensed children to drive bulldozers and excavators.

>>1955694
Where is that interchange

>>1955778
you can do that here but it’s useless i want to at least go 20-30. guess electric is the only option? they’ll probably ban that too.

fuck it all it’s insane you can’t have a 50cc motor. i guess i could just ride something off-road and if the cops bother me just speed into the woods.

>>1955694
You can drive a car without a license, even if you kill someone they just give you a stern warning and a fine

Even in a suburban hellscape riding an ebike is fast enough to get around efficiently. What they should really do is start building separated bike lanes so that you don't risk dying while doing it

With how easy it is to get a license here, you must need a 24/7 tard wrangler to attend to you

>>1955853
There's nothing wrong with roads. The problem is that cars monopolize the space and their drivers can literally murder pedestrians and bikers with just a slap on the wrist for repercussions.

>>1956048
If you want to be treated equally then you should expect to pay equally. Insurance, registration, annual inspections, annual tags for your bike, and so on.

>>1956051
Mine isn't the vehicle type constantly causing deaths and millions in damages. The fuck I need rego and insurance for, you stupid fucking dickhead?

>>1956056
>Regulations & fees for thee but not for me!
Don't complain. Just be happy with what you've got.

>>1956051
you've got it backwards. by your logic, pedestrians and skateboards and rollerskates should be regulated.
the reasons those regulations were developed for cars is because they're giant pollution machines that can kill people if the driver's not careful and they weight a ton or more so they devour infrastructure.
no regulations are required for bikes nor peds etc.
besides, the answer should always be less government regulation

Consider yourself lucky cars aren't more regulated, because they will be sooner or later if their toll on society continues.

>Quoting a drug addict who offed himself proves my point

>>1956051
Cars cause a vast majority of wear and tear on roads, require a vast majority of the space on roads, and cause nearly all hospitalizations and deaths on the road. So sure, I'm happy to pay my fair share if you are :)

A weight tax is probably a good start. Road wear is roughly exponential to weight, so bikers will pay nearly nothing. Bikers also cause negligible amounts of hospitalizations and deaths, while tens of thousands of people are killed yearly by drivers, to say nothing of hospitalizations, so car drivers get to foot the bill for that too. Bikers also take up far less space than cars, so once again they would pay far less a proportion for the road infrastructure than car drivers would.

We should probably also remove all street parking in towns and cities, and remove all free parking. Prices for car and bike garages can be set based on the space they take, to fairly distribute the cost necessary for the garages.

That's all completely fine with me.

>HURR WHY BIKE USERS NO PAY INSURANCE AND ALWAYS BREAK RULES
until they realize what you said and that any proportional tax would be vastly one sided and it'd essentially be nothing for bikes, the most expensive thing would be dedicated bike parking if it wasn't subsidized.

>>1955823
it's crazy that people think bike infrastructure is "only for cities" when space is so plentiful in suburbs that it's easy as fuck to make bike paths.

>>1956108
>I shouldn't have to pay and be insured to use streets because.. I JUST SHOULDN'T OKAY
Again, don't complain with the scraps you get, be thrilled you're even getting them

>>1956119
everyone pays general taxes and current taxes for cars and gas in no way cover the actual cost of road works, which I DO have to pay for even if I don't use the vast majority of roads since I take transit and bikes most places

>>1956176
Sorry but roads aren't free. Bike paths aren't free either. If you want to be treated as an equal, stop being a leech. If you don't think you should pay for things you use, then don't complain when you don't get them.

>>1956178
>a leech
I pay taxes, bike paths are paid for by those taxes. sorry that a portion of your taxes go to something that promotes better city designs and public health you fat retarded cager.

>>1956179
>I pay taxes
I do too. And I pay additional fees and taxes to drive a vehicle on public roads. I have to insure it as well. If you want to use roads and have bike paths built, don't act like you shouldn't pay.

>>1956180
your proposed payment if it were to be the same for bikes as it were cars would make no sense. so either you think it's ok to fuck over bike users for no reason and make them pay many times what is needed, or it'd be proportional to cost of infrastructure and estimated damage by your mode of travel. so you'd pay about 10k dollars a year and I'd pay about $100 or so.

>>1956181
Yeah, you need to pay for things you use.

>>1956182
ok, sure, i'll pay a paltry fee for better infrastructure and you pay your actual fair share which is more than you pay now :)

>>1956183
Don't forget licensing, vehicle inspections, and insurance!

>>1956186
>licensing
sure, despite the fact that cars are extremely dangerous and you dont even pay for licensing anyway besides a small fee on each renewal. i'll take the 5 minute course on bike usage
>inspections
yeah im sure a bike needs to be inspected the same that an internal combustion vehicle does, retard
>insurance
cost of a bike tops out at like 10k and mine is about 100 bucks so I'd pay uh, nothing for personal insurance and if estimations were done for liability based on possible damage done by a bike I'd pay like uhhh, maybe 5 dollars a month.

>>1956187
Alright, you stand to pay less than a car driver would. Why are you still so adamantly against it then?

>>1956189
i'm not. just countering your retard argument because I highly doubt you even care about the details and would oppose bike lanes even if they were solely funded by bike users

>>1956190
The reason you're replying is because you're against having to pay for infrastructure you demand. Now you agree with me that you should pay for things you want. Congrats

>>1956191
so why is it fair that car infrastructure costs vastly more than could possibly be paid for by taxes

>>1956189
Nobody is against it, you're the one crying when we point out that any realistic tax structure to have bikes "pay their share" would result in bikers paying pennies to the car drivers' dollars.

>>1956192
Does that mean you should not pay?

>>1956193
Again, if you only have to pay "pennies," why complain?

>>1956194
I am totally fine paying pennies, I said I am multiple times, so either this isn't your point or yu are retarded

>>1956195
Then you're just arguing for its own sake

License and registration fees should go up for higher-weight vehicles.

One year if an F-150 driving on city roads causes more damage than 5 years of a Camry.

>>1956260

>>1956413
>According to this article about a recent study,

and globally. funnily enough, guns only recently surpassed automotive death rates in America.

The reason why suburbs began being constructed en masse and why the country is so car-centric is because of the Negro problem. Nothing will ever change in this country without a serious solution to this issue.

>>1956179
Bro every reply here is stating we're all perfectly fine paying taxes and fees relative to the insurance risk, road wear/tear, and space occupied by our respective mode of transportation. Cagies will probably still bitch about it not being fair because the respective costs in each of those areas are a fraction of a fraction for bicycles compared to cars.

>>1955694
>you think
No, ya don't. Anything like that would undermine happy motoring.

>>1956051
But cyclist aren't equal. They are infinitely better. It's proportionate transport. 2 tons to move a 200 pound man, to protect him from the same, with 3 empty seats , destroying the world to do it.

With a good mountain bike, cyclist don't even need the road. And when they do it would be at a 1000th of the cost. So where are my parallel, murder free bike roads, faggot?

>>1956056
He meant equal sucker. Defending sunk costs.

>>1956070
>what is ad hominem

>>1956076
Yeah, that would expose everything. Treating "road trains" (trucks) subsidizing the wealthiest corps adventures in nowhere. Course they are out there cause "country living" (handshake lot track housing) people are out there. Its totally circular. And you for got tolls on every road, and milage based insurance. But these unself-aware commies (meaning everyone) who burn the country down cause "muh freedom" (parasitism).

>>1956179
AND the cost comparatively nothing and last forever cause they comparatively arent being used.

Bikes are inferior for transporting any cargo more than about 50lbs on grades roads or around the block. And if you don't do anything but commute to work and hang your 2 days worth of groceries in bags from your handlebars like a moron on your way back to your rented cuckbox, you are an inferior person to a car-using, home-owning patriarch.

>>1959724

>>1962217
Of course there are. But bicycles are pussy repellents.

>>1962226
If you're THAT self-conscious, you'll never get pussy without paying for it. Riding a bike doesn't matter either way.

>>1962230
It has nothing to do with being self-conscious. You're interjecting your own personal problems. Having a nice set of wheels will get you pussy, riding a bicycle never will. Any notion to the contrary is just cope on your part.

>>1955853

>bike paths are paid for by those taxes.
Speaking as a car driver, I'mfine with that. It keeps the bikes OFF THE FUCKING ROADS. Trouble is, my city has figured out that bicycles are excellent speed bumps. They close dedicated bike paths, squeeze them onto roads with share icons and try to shame car drivers with all the inevitable white bicycles chained to roadsides.

>>1955697
