No. Everywhere I have worked, there has been no real "planning" for bicycles, other than painting bicycle lanes, building MUPs, off-road trails, and installing bike racks. The consideration of bicycles actually being on the city streets has always been "taboo" - bicycles should be in/on their separate facilities has been the mantra. Granted, I haven't lived in the most "progressive" of places, but the most "progressive" of places never tout their excellent vehicular cycling planning, i.e. Portland, the Netherlands, etc.
