apparently, i needed a comment this stupid to pull me out of lurker mode.
i'm 27 years old, i've never had a license, i have always been a cyclist, and i have been working since 15; i've paid taxes the entire time. i've put forth more than enough to "buy my right to the road." also, as someone else mentioned, this isn't a "chicken or the egg" situation. bikes were clearly around first, therefore, we have just as much of a right to SAFELY share the road with other vehicles. it's obvious that neither of us (cyclists or drivers) or going away anytime soon, so something's gotta give.
