@Holly-- The existing half cent county sales tax pays for transportation infrastructure throughout the county. Cyclists help pay for local roads just as much as motorists, and cause a fraction of the wear and tear (or air pollution, or noise pollution, or global warming, or congestion....). Fuel taxes go to state highways and interstates, which only the brave and/or foolish cyclists use.
so back off.
The reality is that we all need to acknowledge the diversity... there are dangerous and mindless operators of both bikes and cars, and there are excellent, law abiding and courteous operators of both as well. but as Paul66 points out, it's cyclists alone that get maimed and killed by aggressive/negligent motorists on a regular basis.
and thats a hell of a lot more "terrifying" than anything the worst critical mass participant has ever done.
