A recent article (also here) is perpetuating one of the most persistent myths of modern society - that cyclists aren't paying their fare share for road use.In fact private car ownership is one of he most subsidized aspects of our society.  In Metro Vancouver taxpayers subsidize car owners to the tune of $6.6 billioin per year.  In places like Ontario it is even higher.So cyclists who drive little or never are actually helping to subsidize the polluting habits of frequent car drivers.
