I can't see a reasonable cyclist taking issue with the law, given how it does not actually make bike lane use mandatory in virtually any case where riding in the bike lane would not be seen as the best option by a reasonable cyclist. It's "the sky is falling" rhetoric, mischaracterizing the law to justify fear-mongering.
