sorry, DC, but that sure sounds like fearmongering- or else an inability to decipher basic traffic dynamics. Simple awareness makes a well provided bike lane easy to negotiate without ANY slowing virtually ALL THE time in a bike lane, brother. don't make mountains out of molehills.
This is a thread offering and soliciting advice on how to operate safely within a bike lane encountering minor intersections. your advice, although
supposedly well meaning, is extreme and over the top, and counter to the spirit of this thread.
