This seems to be also a good argument for cycle-tourism:
“housing prices went up by nine dollars for every foot closer to the trail entrance. Ultimately, the study concluded that for the average home, homeowners were willing to pay a $9,000 premium to be located one thousand feet closer to the trail.”

I think that bike lanes on roads with no separating skirt are dangerous. I loved the bike lanes in Sweden. They even had their own underpasses so you wouldn’t have to cross roads. Lots of people rode their bicycles there although gas was 5 times what it was here and cars were twice as expensive.
