The below quote is what you said. I gave you just one example with GA 400 because you were obviously not aware of what happened. So yes I did educate you, but if you choose to ignore it, I can't help you.

Hmm, tough to argue that it is not for profit. great point.
I can probably give you a run for your money as I generally cycle between 8 - 10 hours/week. Back in the day it was around 12 hours. 20+ years of cycling, and I only went down once on the road - rear tire slid out from under me on a tight corner in the rain, but it was just a solo wreck.
These politicians are just trying to pack more money into the states piggy bank by legislating a forced tax on every bicycle owner. It's a sneaky way of forcing people who have jobs to pay them even more tax dollars.
I am sure there will be a mandated subsidy for all of the low information voters who I see riding their bicycles. They will have their EBT, Obama phone and Obama bicycle!

B,
I knew/know about 400. I was against it at it's inception (Despite running a road race on it when it opened, without having to register my shoes
) because I knew it wouldn't end on time nor would it be used as stated. I was even more opposed to the toll/hot lanes on 85 as those were clearly STOLEN lanes paid for with Olympics revnues. But we aren't talking about tolls. My question was about public roadway funding in GEORGIA (meaning, in total, not one road). It still hasn't been answered (but that is presumably because the data may not be readily available beyond the percentages I linked to) even though some have stated 'facts' around the funding.
What "our argument"? There is no argument. This is just another Onion post. I guess bagging carpet is an act of commerce, so, lazy truck driving is forgiven.
I think it's a great idea. Same Road Same Rules is all I ever hear from the turds that clog the roadways so they can ride their bikes on state highways during rush hour. Meanwhile they blow stop signs, impede the free flow of traffic and pass illegally on the right. Hell Yes! license, tag and require insurance for these nuisances. As a matter of fact, I think I'll donate money to each of these three legislators, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Summer of 2011, 8 of us rode 2300 miles in 21 days. It was Canada, though, so that doesn't count.

You asked for an example of money collected for roads not being spent on roads. GA 400 toll was that example. Take the idiotic toll aspect out of it. Money collected for GA 400 by state law was only supposed to be spent on GA 400. They took that money and purchased land.
Any additional taxes collected for roads from cyclists, more taxes on drivers, higher taxes on gases, etc., etc. will just be abused.

OK, if I did that's not what I was meaning. I meant for example if the gas tax was legislated for road construction and it subsequently went into the general fund or build a new football stadium (for example). But fair enough. I agree, IF this was a tax to be used for bike lanes..... eventually it would be skimmed off for something unrelated. Apparently that is not what it's about though.
