I see a sign that suggets that bicyclists can ride there. I don't see
anything that says you can't ride on the traffic lanes.

The meaning of the round blue sign with a bicycle is "bicycles must ride

In France, by now they have two different signs:
Square blue sign with white bicycle: Bicycles can ride here.
Round blue sign with white bicycle: Bicycles *must* ride here.

Thanks for the clarification.

For the record, I oppose any laws that prohibits bicycles from riding

But doesn't the building of bike paths imply that riding on the
highway is dangerious? And if riding on the road is dangerious
shouldn't it be banned?

No, we don't need a nanny government.

After all, Frankie posted a chart showing numbers killed by various
weapons mass shootings and after separating the numbers into those
known to be killed only by  "Semi-Automatic Rifle"  were some 118,
while those killed on bicycles in 2022 amounted 1084.

As  Frankie feels that killing some 118 with a semi-auto rifle is
reason to ban the weapons then certainly killing 8 times that number
with bicycles must be reason to ban there use on highways,

"Frankie" is a ninny-nanny.
