My experience of riding in Philadelphia long before any bike lanes were painted tells me you are correct in your assumption.

Where do the the door zone Henny Pennys think almost all cyclists ride on urban streets with both dense traffic and parking allowed, with or without bike lanes? Answer: on the same piece of door zone real estate and not where the VC gang dreams that cyclists should ride.
