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

Here the motivation is to reduce the number of cars in a city that can't
handle much more traffic. Cycling is treated in much the same way as
public transit. The city wants to reduce motor vehicle traffic in town.

In my city, which has many miles of bike paths, the bike paths are under the parks and recreation department of the government. In my city we treat bike paths as parks. Recreational areas. I doubt any park in the country has paid for itself. Parks are generally built as a quality of life enhancement. Although there are a few miles of bike paths alongside the busy roads going into the downtown. I suppose those are for vehicle reduction purposes.
