Chicago-AS CITY CYCLING GROWS, SO DOES BIKE TAX TEMPTATION

News from The Associated Press:
"A city councilwoman's recent proposal to institute a $25 annual cycling tax set off a lively debate that eventually sputtered out after the city responded with a collective "Say what?"
A number of gruff voices spoke in favor, feeding off motorists' antagonism toward what they deride as stop sign-running freeloaders.
Bike-friendly bloggers retorted that maybe pedestrians ought to be charged a shoe tax to use the sidewalks."
