Read somewhere pre-internet that by having a bike lane (the extra 3-4 feet of paving on each side) road life was increased by 30% or so. Seems most road damage is from the edges crumbling and cracking.... Don't think adding a bike lane would add 30% to the cost, so it is probably worth doing even if bikes are not allowed on that particular road (ie, look at the big wide margins on an interstate).
