Rudd government to impose CO2 tax on road cyclists

Today Kevin Rudd announced a CO2 tax is to be imposed on cyclists.
Mr Rudd is quoted as saying:
"... popular cycling websites such as hillclimbr.com have alerted us to how much CO2 a road cyclist can produce. A good cyclist can produce upto 1500 litres of CO2 an hour. I think we all agree in this day and age this is not acceptable...."
Mr Rudd continued...
"We intend to impose a 20% CO2 tax on all new bike sales..."
At hillclimbr.com we think this is absolutely ridiculous and plan to start a petition against this. Discuss this on our forum
