Is there any place that is seriously looking at bike infrastructure to
increase revenues?


I doubt that any rational city officials see that as likely. But it is
part of the propaganda thrown out by certain bike facility promoters.
They'll say anything to push their agenda.
Here the motivation is to reduce the number of cars in a city that can't
handle much more traffic.Â* Cycling is treated in much the same way as
public transit. The city wants to reduce motor vehicle traffic in town.


I'd like to see data on vehicle miles traveled vs. bike infrastructure
miles constructed for various metro areas. If there is a significant
drop in VMT, I'd be shocked.
