I say just do it and enact the tax and if the cyclysts have a problem with it, then I would suggest getting a lawyer to combat the tax.

Unless you can afford to change it, you're no threat. Just shut up and live with it.

“If you see somebody operating a bike and you see a license on it and they break a law, now you have something to write down. Here in Salem a lot of people are tired of how folks blatantly break laws on their bikes… and I’m not talking about kids, I’m talking about adults. If they have a sticker than you know who it is and you have some way to track them down.”

I didn't actually read the article link. Is that requisite for contributing intelligently to this conversation? This is the internet afterall. I thought I could just fire from the hip and be good.

They'd get pissed off if everyone actually stopped at every stop light and sign and slowed traffic down for everyone as we took the lane like a true vehicle should.

Rep. Nick Kahl (D-Portland) was first speak up from the Committee. He said he wasn’t supportive of this bill until this weekend. Kahl said he came around for two reasons. First, he had a conversation with his brother-in-law who told him: “The only think more annoying than getting caught behind a bicyclist on the road is getting caught behind a bicyclist who’s obeying every single law.” (Room erupts in laughter). The other thing Kahl said won him over is that he just bought a new bike. While on a test ride near the Bike ‘N Hike on SE Grand in Portland he said, “I realized how many times I didn’t come to a full stop.” “I’m fully in support of this bill,” he said.

Some stuff and a link.

Continuing in the vein, Rep. David Edwards (D-Hillsboro) also shared that he feels the bill “presents a level of uncertainty”. He then asked Rohde, “Would you also be in favor of allowing pedestrians to just come up to a street and go across without stopping?” Rohde replied that pedestrians are actually currently allowed to do that.

hilarious!

Here we go again. Lazy slob cagers trying to bring down their betters, the cyclists. I will pay a tax gladly if, AND ONLY IF ALL the money is used for a seperate, paved trail system that does not allow cars. You grunting cagers need to be thanking me and all my fellow cyclists at every opportunity. Don't blame us because you have become out of shape slobs. Get off your doughy asses and get on your bikes. The day will come when you are no longer allowed to pollute our air. It is long over due. What makes you idiots think you have the right to dirty up the air the rest of us breath? When they ban all gas powered vehicles then I will pay a tax. Until then, weakling drivers, pay your road taxes, drive your fat asses everywhere, and shaddapp!

I like this one because it is sure to create peace:

Did you just quote yourself? I thought there was a rule about that in the TOS.

I have a nice office job now managing kids flying RC airplanes with cameras. They get to fly the video game and I get to sit and watch it all on a computer screen. We never have to leave the base, and now that I have figured out how to get the forum passed the filter I have started trying to be productive again.

We did see a dead camel on the road last week with wires coming out its butt. I will let you guess what happened next.

Whoa, two of the lost boys of .83 in one thread? It's starting to look straight out of 2006 in here.

Just make sure you hurry home when things heat up with Cascade and we need our militia.

This is pretty fucking excellent.

We will come together to crush any foreign oppressor that threatens the existence of Pointy3.

You... do realize that the biggest threat to pointythree is pointythree right?
