If you only pay the $15 once from a purchase of a bike that is not much. If they were using it for roads there are some things that would make that fair. Roads need to be kept up to not have pot holes and other dangers that can be deadly to bicyclists. If that money was also used to maintain and create more bike lanes on the roads that is fair. If they just took the money and put it towards anything but the roads or just to make more damn round abouts then no I see it as not fair.
