there is a huge difference IMO. The presence of a bike lane suggests
that the road was thought (or later adapted) also for bicycle use, it
will usually be convenient to enter and leave the bike lane, at
crossings there might be special solutions for cyclists, ... whereas a
shoulder is intended mainly for broken cars (at least that's the case
in central Europe), cyclists and pedestrians might have the right to
go there but they also might encounter big problems at crossings /
exit-lanes and so on.

Cheers,
Martin
