I ride my bike all the time--for free--on the streets of Portland. If I want to buy a helmet, I pay for it. If I want a bridge, I should pay for it. Tax the bikers!!!!! I had to register my bike at the UofO. Why can't we do that in Portland? It is time bikers paid their share. Sam, If a biker yells in the woods and no one else is there to hear them, you want to buy them a megaphone. It is time to take care of the real transportation issues, not just the ones the exceptionally loud bike lobby screams about. If you can't think of any other priority projects feel free to give me my tax dollar back. I bike, I love bikers, but that doesn't mean I want to pay for all of you.
