I like the bike lanes in our area during rush hour on busy roads. Our area is not populated enough to clog the roads and slow traffic at rush hours but is populated enough to have the roads completely full of cars buzzing around at 45+ mph in town. Everyone is in a hurry to get to work or get home and they seem to do crazy things. I find I have less crap to deal with during those times if the road has bike lanes. Other than that I don't particularly care if there is a bike lane because they are often clogged with the previously mentioned debris and/or storm drains.
