Back to the OP: it kind of depends on your tolerance for close passing. I've certainly seen way, way worse. That bike lane looks wide enough so that, if you ride close to the left edge, you'll be out of the door zone. Trouble is, that'll put you close to the passing traffic to your left (like, the side mirror of that truck), which could be pretty disconcerting at that speed. I'd support either choice here. Don't worry about the haters -- keep in mind that the drivers who don't ride bikes have no idea what you're dealing with, and those who are cyclists will understand exactly why you're doing what you're doing.
