Bike lanes are car infrastructure. Streets without cars don't need bike lanes.
Empty streets will cause cars to be made much more effective though, so a bike lane to bypass the traffic calming/filter is necessary to keep cars unattractive and prefer bikes. Or something like that

Its not always that black and white. Urban design that promotes cycling and walking applied on smaller scales can still drastically reduce car dependancy and prioiritity on a shared street.
