Bike lines are a great idea when used properly and maintained properly.
What is wrong is the often times the misconception, and sometimes the law, that bike lanes are mandatory.
I have no problems with bike lanes and ride in them frequently. I will however leave the bike lane if it becomes unsafe to use, I'm passing someone, or I'm making a left turn. I've only had one instance where it pissed off a motorist.
