Contrary to popular belief, many cities care a lot about enabling transportation for a wide range of demographics. Some cities more than others. Cyclists are a growing one, especially in cities and urban areas. As the younger generations get absolutely shafted by the national government/1%/older generations, they will increasingly turn to alternative transport. /n/ is evidence itself, and there are real numbers to support the shift too (see map showing change in bicycle commute from 2006-2011) Bikes are a relatively cheap mode to build infrastructure for.
The cities that don't adapt to increased density and lower incomes will crumble.
The tax is bullshit, but well cheaper than sales tax in most states. A lot of the bike economy is through CL and internet sales anyway. Keep your dick on a bike.
