So, NO! in many cases I do not use a bike lane. This is especially true of the many "Door-zone' bicycle lanes that I see.

In Toronto, we had a dangerous situation like this at the eastbound direction of the Bloor viaduct crossing the DVP on-ramp. Now there are traffic lights specifically for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
