I am a bit skeptical that this is easy to do generally, but Will points out that the median strip in Pennsylvania Avenue SE offers a perfect opportunity to test this idea (although there are some big trees in the way I think...).

Will directs us to this entry, "This is What a Bike-Friendly City Looks Like," from the New York City Streetsblog, showing some great examples of separated bike lanes from Montreal and Berlin.
