Of course I don't object to things which exist only in your feculent
imagination.

Bike lanes are most assuredly subsidized. There are no tolls on bicycle
lanes, there are no "user fees" for bikes, and people can ride on them
free even if they were specially constructed for bicycles. The concrete
doesn't come for nothing - guess who is paying.
