When cyclists pay road tax for their bikes then they can have a say in how the
roads are laid out and what they share them with. Until then they can put up or
shut up.

They do pay taxes which get spent on road building and maintenance.
Those taxes are called income tax, national insurance, VAT, booze duty,
and a whole load of other taxes. They even pay vehicle tax, because most
of them also have cars, and those that don't still use things that have
an element of vehicle tax in their prices, such as, well, anything sold
by any shop.

Hope that helps.
