Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

Going from right to left in your pic, I'd get on the line marking the bike lane, or even to the left of it just a bit. That would put me between the right-turning car and the one going straight. I don't really feel "sandwiched" between cars like that, because the one turning right is turning away from me, and I don't have to worry about the one going straight, either.

This is one of those times when being next to a car's front fender is pretty safe. The driver of the stopped car can see me, and it's impossible for the right-turning car to hit me.
