Metaphorically speaking, yes.
You missed off the important bit:
My point was just that if they think their car fees are paying for their cycle lanes, then presumably their car fees are not paying for the roads. So "get off 'em"!
Given those bike riders are in no way paying fully for their cycle lanes (and they don't pay a bloody levy to ACC either), they should remember they are being subsidised.
I'm actually all for cycle lanes being built and I don't mind some of my fees going towards them. I don't even care that some of the various fees and taxes I pay support the commuter trains too. It all gets cars off the road. That's in my favour too. [And I understand that in a reasonable civilised society, the collective does sometimes help pay for the minorities.]
(I'm also getting to be a fat bastard, and I should start riding a bike again. (I'll still be a bastard)).
(P.S. It's also fair to note that in a parallel to the cyclists claim that their car fees pay for cycle lanes; it would be nice if ACC acknowledged that many motorcycle owners also own cars, and are therefore part of the car "subsidy" of motorcycles...)
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
In my case, I had to get off my chair to access them.

If you have not experienced the Christchurch cycle pack mentality then sorry you cannot comprehend the arrogance often shown to other road users buy these people.
It often amazes me, as there a groups of 40 plus year old adults who drive home in their BMW's etc obeying all road rules, then put on their cycle gear and become arse-wipes(TM).
I am surprise more are not killed every year.
And yes I am sure the same applies to some motorcyclists....... but not me OK.
