Same as these cars which don't pay anything either - they don't pollute enough.

Nice try - but taxing on pollution has entered the game rather late on.

At one time, cycling too and from work etc was restricted to only a few.
Mainly school kids.

It now seems to be a life style choice of many - and they are demanding
lots of alterations to roads specifically for cyclists. So in these days
of austerity - especially with most councils - why shouldn't they
contribute towards that?

What like drivers of motorised vehicles don't. I have told you Dave
just because you 'say' (or even imply something) over and over and...,
does not make it true.
