Of course, the bigger trick is finding the endpoints of that, since even in states that do allow it (save for California), it's rare to get a "bicycles on roadway" sign regularly (Oregon, Washington and Oklahoma usually only post it once starting usually just before or at where bicycles first enter, the corresponding sign the opposite direction would be "bikes must exit/turn right/whatever" before and "no bicycles" after. And they tend to be hard to spot because for whatever reason, USDOT thinks bicyclists can read fonts as tall as my thumb is thick while moving (which means information dense signage such as found in Portland for it's LCNs is next to useless without stopping in traffic), so all bicycle signage tends to be in the finest print possible, even on the freeway...
