I realize that many cyclists also drive cars and pay property taxes that probably pay for bike lanes. I think it's a valid question.
There is a misconception that tag fees are funneled directly back to roads. They're not. Money for roads and bike lanes comes from general funds and often from the federal government.

It's beneficial for drivers (at least that don't like being stuck in traffic) to have as many people moved to the bike lanes as possible.

Bikes lanes benefit everybody, not just those that actually ride a bike on them.
