Here's what they call a bike lane around here, the lane starts and stops along the way. It runs down the one side of a 5 lane highway mysteriously starting and ending without warning.
They painted stick figure bikes and arrows along the shoulder so they could collect some grant money I suppose.

A few other towns cut paths through the woods that don't really go anywhere, some are paved but they're not patrolled and a few are off the beaten path quite a ways for a long distance. Not the safest place to ride after dark to say the least. (nor are the above 'bike' lanes)
