When you buy a second or a third or a fourth car, do you get to drive them
on the roads for free simply because you've already paid highway use fees
on
your first car?  No.  You pay for each vehicle you're going to drive.  Let
bicyclists pay registration fees to use the roads as well if they want to
be
so demanding of their privileges.
