I've only ridden on one road with bike lanes. They allow parallel parking in the bike lane, so when you get to that area, you have to ride in the middle of the road, you physically can't ride in the bike lane.
Basically, if they build bike lanes around here, they're going to put them on streets that don't need bike lanes anyway. "Here's a nice wide street with minimal car traffic, let's put a bike lane there." Well, that's not where you need it.
