Spite. Many people are no more emotionally advanced than a toddler. They're mad about something (traffic, the looming spectre of mortality, queer people, being out of shape, whatever) so they lash out at whatever. Bike lanes are a symbol of things they don't like, and easier to attack than the real sources of their unhappiness.
