It seems every time I drop my vigilance and get temped by the bike lane, I get right hooked. Must resist, must resist. (I'm much better at that these days - seeing these videos of myself is a stark reminder of the danger)

LOL. I know what you mean. The tempation I keep falling for is daydreaming while riding in a bike lane, when suddenly some car blows by that I wasn't expecting, and I realize I lapsed on monitoring to the rear. As soon as that batch of cars goes by, I move back out into the traffic lane where I stay alert.
I do stay in the bike lane at intersection approaches, however, when same direction traffic is present and is passing me way too fast to be able to turn right. But it requires a lot of vigilance, because you have to be ready to negotiate/move left if someone behind looks like they are slowing down to possibly turn right.
