John Nolen might be bikeable now with the big breakdown lanes, but those will
probably go away when the construction starts.
BUT, just in case this WAS actually a Norwegian joke that we are all taking too
seriously, here's a counter-joke courtesy of G. Keillor:
Sven and Ole were mountain-climbing in the Norwegian fjords when Sven
lost his grip, shot down a glacier, and off a cliff into the mists. Ole
crawled over to the edge and called down: "Sven! Can you hear me down
there?" "Hiya, Ole! I hear you fine!" "Sven, are ya hurt?" "No, I don't
think so." "No broken arms? Legs? Back?" "No, everything feels
okey-dokey." 'that"s a relief. Sven, can ya climb back up here?" "No,
Ole, I don't think I can." "Why not?" "Well, you see," came the voice
from below. "I haven't landed yet..."

I am certain you are legally allowed to bike on John Nolen, and I am also sure
some people may chose that option. If people are commuting from the Olin or
Lakeside area, and going to much of downtown, going all the way around Monona
Bay is a big detour.
The drivers on John Nolen are going to be pretty tense with the construction
anyway, and they may react poorly to bicyclists. Besides, John Nolen is going
to be busy, noisy, and the air quality from all those cars is going to be
pretty bad. You can ride on John Nolen, but let's just say that it won't be all
that pleasant.
For many people, such as me going from the campus area to the Olin Park, it's
about even with regard to distance. For others, this will be a "grit my teeth
and take John Nolen" or chose the big roundabout (Monona Bay.)
