An ordinary lane with sharrows, not a "bike lane" - so the presence of the vehicle there wasn't odd in the way that presence in a "bike lane" would imply.

A bit different than the classic dooring where cyclists ride too close to cars parked by the curb.
Different indeed.

Legal determinations aside, in practical terms it's another thing to keep in mind when filtering forward or passing a car on the right.

Stopped and even slowing cars should be seen as red flags of concern - especially if you're contemplating going by them on their right.

The important kind of victory is making it home unscathed.
