Yes we do but it isn't fair to the rest of the 95% property owners who will never use a bike path to be billed for building bike paths. The flip side which is where you went saying your against funding highways, fine then don't buy gasoline and buy a electric car...but the day is coming when electric rates will rise to cover the loss of road taxes from reduced gasoline use and increase use of electric cars, when that happens will it be fair that the non electric car owners have to pay for increased electrical rates for those that do own them?
