Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the state's role in providing bikeway facilities for the ever increasing number of people interested in bicycling. Three questions must be answered. 1) can a safe cycling network be provided by assigning state highways the role of bike routes, utilizing existing shoulders in lieu of costly bikeway construction. 2) Should a study be undertaken for the establishment of Class I, II and III bikeways, and 3) What other alternatives are feasible as interim solutions to the bikeway problem.
