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?

In what way?
By paying a tax that does not exist?

He's saying that there should be a tax that cyclists have to pay, to
pay for all that road modification that only cyclists benefit from.

I agree.
Let's call it council tax.

That can't fly because non cyclists pay that too.

So do non drivers.

Non drivers dont pay the fuel tax.

I bought a gallon of petrol for a lawn mower and had to pay full price.
