I've seen lanes used quite a bit, especially after the maproulette for
that, though rather haphazardly since people participating in that
challenge didn't look for changes in lane counts, or count lanes:forward
and lanes:backward separately, or include placement, placement:forward, or
placement:backward as appropriate.  I would like to see more support for
shoulder=* though.  Some tagging presets and rendering in JOSM would
probably help adoption.

A hard shoulder is not a bike lane and should not be tagged as such.
