Drivers don’t come close to paying the full costs of roads #cycling #bikecommuting #driving
It’s bizarre that some drivers get angry when cyclists ask for bike infrastructure, saying that “cyclists don’t pay for roads,” when, in reality, drivers don’t come close to paying their own way. In fact, we all pay staggering amounts for our automobile-dependent world, even if you don’t drive a car.
