Are cyclists expected to cross international borders with the autos or

I generally cross in the vehicle lane, but I also select crossings
that are not very busy (I have only crossed the US-Canada Border -
both directions, several times)

At Detroit and Port Huron, you have to be transported. (I hitchhiked at
Detroit and waited for an authority van (that took through bikers only) in
Pt. Huron.) At Roseau, the Soo, northeastern Vt., Edmonston, and St.
Leonard, you cross where the cars do.

I only have European and Alaska-Yukon border experience, and I
was always in the car lane. Only got stopped once, and that was
because the Canadian guard wanted to check out my pedals since he
was thinking of ordering some. ;^)

I was once refused entry to Canada because I did not have enough
money and because somebody had stolen my return ticket back to
Finland. Credit card was not a proof of having sufficient funds. I
had to bike back to Bellingham, get $500 from Bank and then bike back
to the border.

When I had pedalled the Alaska Hiway, the US guard did not believe
that me or anybody else can do that. This was in 1985, road was bad
and I did not see any other bicyclists on the way.
