Near my house is an intersection with a straight/left turn lane, bike lane, right turn lane, in that order. The bike lane ends after the intersection, but the road is plenty wide (could probably be a two lane road). Occasionally people will pull up to the light halfway in their lane, and the other half taking up the bike lane. When this happens, I usually pull up directly in front of them and sit in the bike lane as I would if they weren't there.

I mostly deal with 20-30mph roads around here, but I find I almost always accelerate as fast as the cars up to about 15mph, and I'm not talking sprinting or anything. Just my normal pace.
