Don't forget the bottom line: The state needs money. Politicians are looking for "painless" sources of revenue. Note: "Painless" means minimal threat of being turned out of office. I really doubt that the funds gathered from proposed bicycle tax will end up being put to use for bike lanes and such. As soon as a "crisis" comes along, the money will be spent on whatever project rolls the most logs

A highly biased opinion.
