Every time someone does one of these, the cost-benefit comes out so far ahead for cycling infrastructure it's not funny. The HS2 cycle paths cost-benefit analysis came out five times better than HS2 itself, despite the cost-benefit ratio for the hs2 cycle paths being rubbish for cycle infrastructure (most of HS2 is in less populated areas).
If you're serious about analysis then you could start by [reading this UK government report](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/509587/value-of-cycling.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...) and it's references.
Or a study on the [danish cycling infrastructure investment](https://cyclingsolutions.info/cost-benefit-of-cycling-infrastructure/ https://cyclingsolutions.info/cost-benefit-of-cycling-infras...)
> whether some kind of funding-by-the-users is possible (like happens for other vehicles: fuel duty, road tax, etc.)
Revenues from both go into the same general taxation pot, they're not reserved for funding roads. Incidentally, Tesla and other e-cars pay neither.
