True. Most of the signs have been leading into urban areas or suburban
but there are places where it would not make sense to allow bicycles,
like on interstate 5 between Bakersfield and highway 152.

I may concede that one since a bike on the shoulder should be able to
beat gridlocked traffic any day. There would be some smug satisfaction
