False. Bicycles are not allowed on interstates in Indiana. I'm not sure with 
the other states, but I highly doubt Ohio allows them either.

 limited-access freeways.

Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Tennessee come to mind right off.

I'm really not sure why this is being debated so hotly but here is a
site that sums things up nicely:

 knowing the amazing diligence of this community, I'm sure you guys will find
 tags we've missed that should or could be used for bike/pedestrian.  If you
 feel its worth mentioning, please please please provide some point of
 reference so we can eyeball it - a wayID, or a link to a route on the open
 mapquest site where it isnt going thru a feature you think it should.
 Thanks.

Hmm, I just tried it out and wondered why this route completely
avoided a very nice bike trail:

What tags is the route planner looking for when considering bicycle routing?

Otherwise, I think the MapQuest Open service is great!
