Fuel taxes and registration fees cover only 50-55% of the construction/maintenance of roads.

And how much above and beyond normal taxes do bicyclists pay?

None. But how much damage does a bike do to a road? A high income cyclist could easily pay more than his fair share of the roads through income taxes. Considering that most cyclists are above average income, they're also paying more for the registration/taxes on their more expensive vehicles.
