FABB points us to Governor Kaine's Transportation Town Hall Meetings.
Governor Kaine released details about his transportation plan today. I found no references to bicycles, bike lanes, or non-motorized transportation:
“Governor Timothy M. Kaine today released details of his transportation plan and called for a special session of the General Assembly to address transportation on June 23. The Governor's plan fills our growing road and bridge maintenance deficit to promote safety, provides relief for regional transportation needs, and invests in innovative approaches to Virginia's transportation challenges. The plan raises over $1 billion annually by fiscal year 2012 and contains no gas tax increase.”
Kaine is a moron. However, his "plan" which delegates a lot of power back to the Northern Virginia Transport Authority, would include some bike related projects.

It is a bad plan -- the best thing to do is raise gas taxes (instead of the sales tax) Kaine doesn't have the eggs to propose that. However, it may be bike-neutral.
