Everyone complains about congested traffic and high gas prices. So we respond by creating economic incentives so that some people will buy electric cars and build bike lanes or paths to encourage some people to use bikes instead of cars. Next phase: complain about electric car users and bike riders not paying enough road tax. You're a tough crowd to please, that's for sure.

Back to the original point, given the paltry low number of electric cars in use, I'm not yet worried about taxing them for their fair share of the road, since we're still trying to convince people to buy electric cars. When electric vehicles become 10% or more of the vehicle fleet, we ought to take another look at it. And bicycles aren't relevant to this thread.
