I don't pay to ride my bike on the Spur Line Trail...

Nor do motorists pay to use local streets, or in this backward country of ours, even superhighways.

But ultimately, charging is a good way of rationing use of a scarce resource. Parking is scarce, where and because real estate is scarce.

Even if we did charge for use of bike trails, the fee would have to be miniscule compared to the fee required to use a motor vehicle on a public road.
