That perhaps wasn't the best reason he gave. However, there must be some truth, perhaps even enough to tip the balance, in riding a bicycle makes cars behind you drive inefficiently. Now I am the one who has not done the analysis, but there must be some truth in that.

I believe lower speeds are in general more efficient for fuel consumption and CO2 output. Even if cyclists do make drivers more inefficient, it would be more than offset by the reduction in pollution from having one less car over the same distance.
 
As my husband has frequently said, "Before long, we will be taxed for the air we breath."

At least around where I live, most towns/cities have designated bike lanes both for the safety of the cyclists and so they will not inhibit traffic.
 
It is indeed a mystery to me how the GOP (the party of Lincoln), who always stood for smaller government and less taxes seem now, to want to tax bicycles and intrude into the personal affairs of a husband and wife.
And of course it doesn't stop there..... but I will, lest this turn into a political rant without any possibility of a peaceful ending.
