Something more than they're paying now, which is zero. Figure the cost to build and maintain bike lanes, divide that cost by the number of bikes sold in a municipality. Assess a tax on each bicycle sale in that municipality equal to whatever that number comes out to. Or better yet, make cyclists go through the same process that vehicles go through to get tags. Any cyclist using a bike lane without a valid tag affixed to it should get a ticket, just like a driver would receive when driving an unregistered vehicle, or a vehicle found on the road containing dyed farm fuel. It's amazing I have to keep pointing this out: bike lanes and infrastructure are NOT free. It doesn't matter how little damage they do to the pavement: the pavement was built and maintained using funds paid for by drivers. They are usually created by expropriating infrastructure from drivers, or by using funds designed to support new infrastructure for vehicles. Cyclists who drive pay taxes on fuel and on their vehicle, so I'm not sure why it would matter if a cyclist is also a driver. By definition, if they're driving a car legally, they've paid to use the roads, unlike when they use their bicycle in the bike lane.
