The scary part for me is when it is dark - no reflectors on the cans, our city uses dark green for the trash. Particularly when there is oncoming traffic, they can pop up out of the dark all of a sudden.

The road I ride is too busy and too fast to take the lane the full length of the ride, so I have to slalom a bit. Clearly must be careful in doing that.

If the cans were placed/replaced next to the curb, it would be better since the bike lane is nice and wide. Better yet, 95% of the driveways are wide enough that the cans could be placed in the drive and never get in the bike lane. 5% of the 95% realize that.
