Bike lanes? Well, I don't really know. I haven't seen one in a long time now.

Probably not though, I have had much better rides when I go a bit into the lane as opposed to the shoulder. The last bike lane I rode in (different city, about a year ago) I was passed once by a truck moving at 45ish mph and close enough I could stick out my pinky and touch it.

Didn't like that much.
