There's no such thing as road tax Arthur; that's a term from ye olden days. Road repairs are funded from general taxation. Some vehicle owners do pay vehicle excise duty which you may think is a road tax but it is for vehicle emissions (VED - Vehicle Excise Duty).

It is often demanded that cyclists should pay road tax and most already do from general taxation. The emissions that cyclists make are not of the same toxic type that come from vehicle exhausts and farting, to date anyway, is not taxed whether you're in a car, on a bike or typing on a forum *parp*. Oops excuse me .
