Taxing Our Bicycles

The Associated Press ran a story yesterday about Chicago councilwoman Pat Dowell who proposed a $25 per year tax on bicycles and a one-hour safety course. The idea was generally debated along party lines — cyclists saying no, automobile drivers saying yes — until summarily dismissed by everyone.  It’s too bad it wasn’t given more thought.  There’s merit in the idea.
