YOUR ROADS. YOUR RIDES. YOUR RIGHTS.

Let's slap this "fee" on all bicycle and e-bike purchases and registrations, #coleg. Bike lane improvements should be funded by the beneficiaries. In the name of roadsharing equity, let's also require that all roadsharers be licensed, undergo safety training, and carry liability insurance. #copolitics @GovofCO

[Sean Paige @SeanPaige]

It's a tax, @DenverChannel, and an arbitrary and punitive tax to boot, so please stop using the dishonest nomenclature preferred by the bill's sponsors. Cyclists should tax THEMSELVES to pay for amenities from which they benefit. #copolitics #coleg

[JohnQMotorist @FreeToDriveUSA]

The government shouldn't be trying to rig the game to favor one technology over another. Let consumers decide. Isn't that the best (and only) way for a free society to handle this?

Central planners and automakers are learning, belatedly, that bribes and govt coercion aren't as powerful as consumer choice and market forces: https://t.co/Ey9w7lfBUH

(Maybe Colorado's "libertarian" governor --😂-- should catch on.)

It's time for motorists to unite and fight. Nobody imagined that a day would come in America when the central planners, using "climate" as a pretext, would start targeting our vehicle mobility. But that's where we're at.

Some lawmakers believe they can reduce demand for #oilandgas in Colorado by banning drilling statewide. These folks also believe they'll eliminate cars and drivers by removing parking spots: https://t.co/YstWIX4PyP

Denver will pay "eligible" residents to bike rather than drive: https://t.co/eCh5WOEDuz

While the sanctuary city is slashing basic services to fund an influx of border crossers.

Give up your cars and your vehicle mobility, poor peeps. #Democrats want you to ride bikes instead. Pueblo, by the way, just won "environmental justice" funds from the EPA to buy 100 e-bikes for "eligible" poor people in the Steel City.

Here's why your EV-owning pals probably don't take their subsidized #EVs to Steamboat, Snowmass, or Breck on a frigid winter weekend like this: https://t.co/JJ5OhZlsvb

Yet these are what the government wants us all driving?

Cold snap leaves dead EV graveyards littering the landscape: https://t.co/2w6s2IqdKD
These are the vehicles that govt wants you driving, America. And they plan to make it MANDATORY

[JohnQMotorist @FreeToDriveUSA]

The top-down push to force every motorist into one kind of car, ignoring consumer preferences and market forces, isn't just autocratic; it's anti-American. And it's heartening to see that the backlash is building.

Auto rental companies need vehicles that are versatile, reliable, affordable, and low maintenance. That's why Hertz is the latest rental company to dump EVs: https://t.co/duDHZyaXts

Drivers aren't buying what the "experts" and activists are selling them. #copolitics #Evs #electricvehicles

The lane-grabbing lobby has its wish list for #coleg. Here's what motorists should seek in the name of roadsharing equity:

✅All additional bike lanes funded by taxing bikes/bicyclists

✅Mandatory liability coverage for cyclists who share roads

✅Zero tolerance for cyclists who stray from designated lanes

✅curbside sobriety checks for urban cyclists

✅ Traffic enforcement equity between motorists and cyclists

✅Roadsharing safety ed for cyclists who share roads

✅ Restoration of the no-rolling-stops rule

[Sean Paige @SeanPaige]

Agreed. That's how we'll end the freeloading and get road-sharing bicyclists to pay their "fair share."

✅Roadsharing safety ed for all cyclists who share roads

✅Equity between motorists/cyclists on traffic enforcement

✅Mandated safety education for all cyclists who share roads

[Sean Paige @SeanPaige]

Wait, don't tell us. Your "Vulnerable Road User Protection Fund" will be bankrolled by taxing motorists or a subset of motorists. Instead, how about taxing bicyclists, requiring them to carry liability coverage, a ban on rolling stops, parity/equity in rules enforcement, and mandated safety education for all cyclists who share roads? #copolitics #coleg

Biden's @EPA appears to be cooking the books on EV range estimates, potentially leaving drivers/buyers in the lurch: https://t.co/NcU4G9gDGq

Best laid plans of mice and mandates, Part 2:

#Congress provided $7.5B for #electricvehicle chargers. Built so far: Zero. https://t.co/LSkcy6bSH9

That's illion with a "B"!

Who knows better than dealers do what the motoring public wants and doesn't want? Joe's ideas about the car market are as impractical and out-of-touch as that vintage Vette he drives once a yr. Please get real on vehicle mandates, Mr. President.
