No, bicycles with wheels smaller than 26" are exempted. Think about that for a while. The "wheel" of a bicycle is the metal bits. A 622mm rim is 24.5" in diameter which clearly puts it below the requirement.
As noted above, it's also a utter failure. As of December 2018, it brought in a whopping $1 million. It was projected to bring in $2 million which isn't anything to crow about either. A bike lane costs around $130,000 per mile so Oregon will get a massive 9 miles of bike lane.
A multiuser separated bike path (11 feet wide) costs around $500,000 per mile. So they can squeeze out just shy of 2 miles of MUP. North Carolina isn't going to get any better deal.
