Hell no. That would be a parking lane, not suitable for cycling.
Picture a typical bike lane; now remove all signage and markings
calling it a bike lane. Here's an example:
http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=28.332798,-81.491435&spn=0.001929,0.00515&t=k&z=19&layer=c&cbll=28.332797,-81.491264&panoid=s34bEpDWqe-ThdTF0X38uQ&cbp=12,103.59,,0,2.84
what does actually make you believe it is intended for bicycles if
there is no signs and no road markings? Couldn't it just as well be
for horses, skateboards, pedestrians, snow mobiles, motorbikes, dogs
or whatever?
Having stayed in a hotel just north of where that picture was taken I
can say that snowmobiles would be unlikely there! Large humanoid mice
would be a possibility though...
Sometimes you don't need a sign to tell what something is for. Near
where I live there's an "equestrian crossing" (think light-controlled
pedestrian crossing, but with the buttons high up so horseriders can
easily reach). There's no sign saying "horse riders please cross here",
but given that the other options would be people on stilts or
penny-farthing riders it seems fair to assume that horseriders were the
target market.
