Conservatives hate freedom. In this case they hate the idea that you'd have freedoms to travel without paying for the privilege.
Want to leave your home? Buy your car from the billionaires. Pay for gas to billionaires. Have your insurance from billionaires. What? You'd like to bike and no pay to a billionaire?!? Can't have that freedom. Get back to work, serf.
And they don't want the poors to be able to escape from their slums.
I often think of the movie bugs life where the grasshopper says that the ants outnumber them 6 to 1, and if they ever figure that out, our way of life is over.
No particular reason, but there are more of us than them, by a lot.
I think even more so, they think riding a bike somewhere is a "gay soyboy" activity and that people biking are "in their way". Of course, bike lanes would get bikers out of their way, but they are too stupid to understand anything.
