72.50% - Axle weight raised to the fourth power determines road damage — bikes are functionally weightless in that calculation.
27.50% - One Hummer does the same road damage as 364,520 bike trips — taxing bikes to fund road repairs they didn't cause is indefensible.
Road wear scales with the fourth power of axle weight.
33.97% - One Hummer does the same road damage as 364,520 bike trips — taxing bikes to fund road repairs they didn't cause is indefensible.
25.00% - Roads degrade from freeze-thaw cycles, sun, and moisture regardless of traffic, but heavy vehicles dramatically accelerate that baseline degradation — bikes barely register.
15.52% - Axle weight raised to the fourth power determines road damage — bikes are functionally weightless in that calculation.
15.52% - Subsidize bike infrastructure and get more people out of cars — the road math works heavily in bikes' favor.
10.00% - Every car trip replaced by a bike trip saves money on road maintenance — bikes cause negligible road wear.
50.00% - Road wear scales with the fourth power of axle weight.
50.00% - Heavy vehicles cause disproportionately more pavement damage than lighter ones.
0.00% - Road wear is exponentially related to vehicle weight.
50.00% - Ram pickup
