I saw an interesting post over on Facebook from a Saint Johner complaining about the bicycling lobby asking for funding to improve biking lanes (full separation) on the uptown Saint John peninsula and suggesting that the bicycling community should be funding this themselves.

An interesting idea. There is no question that the different levels of government collect gazillions of dollars from car owners and motorists through HST on car repairs and sales, various sundry gasoline taxes and parking meters in order to fund highway and street infrastructure. I wonder if there is any way to generate taxation revenue from bicyclists in order to fund their infrastructure needs? Thoughts anyone???
