and in places like parts of Portland where its considered the most "cyclist" friendly in the country, there are likely a larger amount of people who get around with out a car.

I pay taxes for my two vehicles. Why would a bike rider be any different?

LOL, more like the actual painted, separated bike trails and paths that are on those roads....you know, the paths that are marked SOLELY for bikes in cities that are bike friendly, you know, the parts of ASSphalt that cars cannot drive on.
Still takes money to build and maintain that infrastructure that is use ONLY for bikes. I don't have a bike so i don't give a crap. Maybe you do and are bitter about it. But i don't like bikes holding up traffic because they have to be on the same road as me...I have to veer into oncoming traffic to avoid them. It's stupid. Tax the idiots that want to pedal a bike around dump trucks to build them a safer place to ride. I don't want to pay for it...they should.
