I am not sure what the funding is, but Bike roads are much much cheaper than car roads. What makes a road expensive is how much weight it can handle, and when you move from a car to a bike you remove at least 95% of the weight the road has to handle.
You also save a lot of money because the road does not have to handle 80 mph speeds. Car roads get destroyed when wheels slam into small bumps or holes in the asphalt at very high speeds.
So while it may all look like the same asphalt bike roads are much much cheaper to both build and maintain.
Therefore, even if you never get on a bike you should be making your city build bike roads because, if other people chose to bike instead of driving, this will mean lower costs to the city and less taxes for you.
