They kinda already are, aren't they? I mean, cars are taxed while bikes are not.

@braveamateur absolutely not. The taxes you pay on your car are a tiny tiny fraction of the price your car costs society. We subsidise cars at the expense of better transport solutions that don't fuck up cities, wreck the planet, and foul up the roads.
Gotta love the sound of privileged carists complaining about having to make a pitiful token contribution when they are swallowing collosal amounts of public money.
"If only societal cost/benefits were considered, one kilometre by car cost €0.15 (AU$0.21), whereas society earned €0.16 (AU$0.22) for every kilometre cycled."

@stib @braveamateur Check your ableism.

@Daveosaurus @stib @braveamateur it is not ableist to want fewer cars in cities. People who NEED cars would also benefit from such policies, due to less traffic, lower insurance premiums and road traffic accident rates.

@noodlemaz @stib @braveamateur It IS ableist to call someone a "privileged carist" simply because their days of walking or pedalling more than a hundred or so metres in one stretch are permanently behind them.

@Daveosaurus @noodlemaz @braveamateur Yeah, nah. Cars are inherently ableist. A minority of people can drive, and yet our entire urban environment has been distorted to cater for cars and only cars, making them less accessible for everyone else.
