they want to have the same rights as auto drivers, so they should follow the same rules.

If you use the road you should have to follow the rules like everyone else.

As a driver I'm already worried about hitting a cyclist when driving past them. Some cyclists are unpredictable and don't always stop at Stop signs or signal when turning.

It's dangerous for them not to stop and just to yield

They are already dangerous and have no care for road laws.

If they want to be on the road and not pay taxes for said road, they should at least follow all the rules of the road!

9 out of 10 cars don't even stop at stop signs. Cyclists need to be extra careful when out on the road. It's scary out there.

All these laws are passed to give cyclist the same laws as a vehicle. It's what they push for so yes they should be required to stop. Maybe cars should yield at stop signs. That's how dumb it sounds

Also if they would use the bike lanes how they are supposed to be used and ride single file there would be less bikes hit. You push for the bike lane then you better use it. Common sense. Use it too!!

Is this just for bikes? Because if you're like me and ride a longboard, the roads in town are steep, so you catch too much speed and most of the time, see the car way before they see you to stop.

Trump is a clear danger to Democracy. I don't think MAGA people actually listen to his "speeches"/rambling offensive tirades of many half-truths.. but also easily disproven outright lies. How anyone can support him at this point, is bizarre.

I voted for Trump because of his policies. Harris has none, just the same terrible Biden policies.

A vote for the Democratic Party is a vote for one party rule. I never felt that way until the Biden administration took over and opened the border to allow so many to come across unvetted. I have never understood why it takes 3 to 5 years to get a green card. Makes no sense.

This type of tax will always be passed on to we consumers. Oregonians already pay an income tax. It's another heavy burden on Oregon consumers that will be passed on to us - the increased costs is nothing but a hidden tax.

This is a sneaky way to get sales tax in place and will add as much as 15% to the consumer's cost for retail purchases.
