It could be, but the better answer would be to design the area to be safe for all road users.
As a cyclist I am tired of so called "cycling routes" diverting me long distances away from the quickest route to where I want to go. I realise that all time spent cycling is good time and so on, but when I'm a commuter, I want the same comforts that planners desperately pursue for motorised commuters, namely a quick, effective, efficient and safe route to work. I do not want to have to trundle off of some milk route like I'm a second class citizen.
