Not always... Ever been riding on an interstate when road construction is going on, the shoulder disappears and gets replaced by jersey walls? Or an exit every mile? Or cloverleaf interchanges? I love bicycling but banning bikes from interstates in the east and major cities in the west is just being smart.
