Senate transportation bill bans cycling on federal roadways if path exists
(d) BICYCLE SAFETY.—The Secretary of the appropriate Federal land management agency shall prohibit the use of bicycles on each federally owned road that has a speed limit of 30 miles per hour or greater and an adjacent paved path for use by bicycles within 100 yards of the road.

Just another example of sidepath promotion and funding leading to a government attempt to ban roadway cycling.
Clarification: the cycling ban applies to roads through federal lands, not all federally involved road projects.
