Au contraire!
On my cross-country bike ride, I rode interstates in California, Arizona, and New Mexico. They are allowed there and in a number of other western states where the interstates offer the only practical way to get between certain towns. Cyclists do have to ride on the breakdown lane, so there is a lot of tire debris that causes flats, but generally we were safer on the interstates than we were on other roads with narrow or non-existent shoulders.
