The first flurries , freezing rain and freezing temperatures of winter have not been enough to prevent a surprisingly high number of cyclists in Chicago continue to roll through the streets, thanks in part to the city government is so concerned address them he has made compact snow plows to clear the bike lanes .

The operation to remove snow is just one of the most recent measures have lavished the cyclists and city officials ranging from a growing number of bike lanes to the second largest network of bike sharing in the United States, stationed around Chicago and ready to use .

This support urban cycling , however , has also posed a question to this and other cities around the country with deep financial problems : Who is paying for all this official support for the bike?

In response, a city councilman recently proposed institute an annual tax of $ 25 cyclists , which sparked a debate across the city : Some voices spoke in favor , feeding the resentment of motorists towards cyclists that pass traffic lights red and stop signs . Several blogs near cyclists replied that perhaps the local government should levy a tax for pedestrians to use the sidewalks.

" Will they have special bike cops to arrest offenders ? Or cameras and how would you make (to enforce this tax) " asked Mike Salvatore , owner of Heritage Bicycles , a business in Chicago that combines a cafe animated with a workshop to create a custom built bike nineteenth century .

Chicago is by no means the only place in America where the temptation for authorities to take cyclists as a possible new revenue grows, but these plans have met with both equity issues as how to collect tax .

That is putting under test targets some mayors that are transforming large urban extensions with bike lanes and other services, in the search for relevance , vitality and livability , with funds that are never enough.

Two or three states are considering bills each year to create some kind of public bicycle registration and fees , with stickers or miniplates , said Douglas Shinkle , policy specialist at the National Conference of State Legislatures. winter cycling clothing This year were Georgia, Oregon, Washington and Vermont. The Oregon legislation , which failed , was looking even apply to children.

"Legislators are trying to be as creative as possible and as open to any possibilities to fill funding gaps . Everything is on the table," Shinkle said.

It is not a new idea. Netherlands, where the biker life style has been the norm , had bicycles taxes between 1924 and 1941 , when the Nazis removed in an attempt to win over the Dutch.

Hawaii has had a bicycle registration law in the state for decades, and the city of Colorado Springs, Colorado, although in both cases these taxes charged once and all proceeds go to the bicycle infrastructure .

In the case of Colorado Springs, the proposal came from the cycling community. Since 1988 has been in effect a tax of $ 4 per purchase of a new bike and nobody seems to care. The tax raises only up to $ 150,000 a year , but it is useful because the federal government adds equivalent subsidies. It has also given advocates of cycling a strong argument to push for more projects in support of cycling .

The government of Portland, Oregon, is pushing full cyclists traversing the center of the city, angering some companies lanes.

Robert Huckaby , who owns a moving company , tried unsuccessfully to raise a million dollars to include on the ballot statewide Oregon a measure that sought to consult the public on whether he supported the idea of ​​charging a fee to Bicycle registration and licensing .

Huckaby was mobilized after the city government finally closed a street which was the main entrance to your business. Cyclists traveling along that street ignored a high total signal at an intersection and were struck by vehicles came round .

" The sad thing is we want to be known as the American city more friendly to cyclists, but no one listens to 'Juan Pueblo ''' , Huckaby said . " They're basically just listening to the mayor of Portland and cyclists , "he added .

In Chicago , Mayor Rahm Emanuel has prioritized the ciclocarriles and bike sharing programs , in the belief that it will make the city center in an attractive location for bright and innovative young companies.cycling bandanas  More bikes means less pollution, less traffic congestion , virtually no deterioration of city streets and a healthier population .

However, the idea that cyclists are not paying their fair share has echoed elsewhere in the population, but many cyclists are also car owners who pay the fuel tax , which helps fund road construction , or homeowners who pay property taxes and are intended in part to road construction .

The city councilman was not done any favors by trying to convince others about your idea of ​​putting a tax on bicycles to say it was a good alternative to raising the tax on cable television : the whipped Their opponents , accusing want to subsidize people who crushed the time on the couch watching television at the expense of healthy cyclists passed .

Good or bad idea, some cyclists feel that the debate on the bike announces tax resurgence of cycling in the life of the whole country.

"Who would have taken ( to the council ) really 10 years ago? " Asks Salvatore , 32 . "Really ! 10 years ago there were only a handful of crackpots who used the bike to travel on Chicago ."

Cycling is a fair sport , it will bring happiness to all people, including the ability of any age and any person .

Per year in the long road along China often can see a lot of cycling trips travelers , who come from different places , speak different languages ​​, with varying beliefs , riding from one end of the other end of the journey in search of his own direction . And record the moving text and images.

Modern society developed transportation, Aircraft trains, cars . Transportation connections. Why travel to ride it ? Why to suffer so much , weathered why bother? Exercise ? Monton cycling wholesales Perseverance test it? Table talk is to increase it? Look at the scenery it? Taste different cuisines do ?
