Bikelanes that allow parking, WTF is that? Cars are running to the left of the lane, opening a car door isn't going to result in an oncoming car collision. Cyclist trying to stay in the lane, gets doored.
My post above was about bike lanes not being that good an idea, necessarily. If there is a bike-and-park-your-car "bikelane", I'm riding outside the door zone, whether to far-left in the bikelane, or in the regular traffic lane. IF OP was in a designated bikelane, the city should be liable for creating a dangerous nuisance. If there was no bikelane, car-driver is liable, but in reality, OP should have been steering clear of the potential opening door whatever the striping was, for his own safety. That was the point of my last post: figure out what is SAFEST for you.
Like in my town, the cops recommend riding on the sidewalk (legal here). Great for slow riders who can stop when somebody coming out of a driveway or parking lot or cross street doesn't stop at the sidewalk line, but people go through this line all the time, so bad news if you ride fast. The best thing is to ride where drivers ARE LOOKING, which is car-traffic area, on the road.
For behind-me drivers I always use a Dinoitte 400R, which alerts behind-me drivers to my presence at a much greater distance than if I were not signaling them in advance, "Cyclist ahead of me, I have plenty of time and space to DELIBERATELY THINK about my pass."
So much of biking risks are a matter of us riders not maximizing our small-size low-profile visibility. There's a difference between claiming our legal rights in car v. bike accidents, versus making car v. bike accidents not happen. We have power to make the latter possible. Use the power, or don't, it's your choice.
