Just this week I saw a bike on I5 for the first time I can remember. In Washington State there is major annual bike rides from Seattle to Portland (STP) which as far as I know does not use I5. Oregon Department of Transportation publishes a bike map [1]. I5 is included in any of their approved routes.
