Yeah, probably I should have just waited in line. I would have been able to keep up with the cars getting going off the line.

Or, I could have jumped up onto the sidewalk to get around the cars in the bike lane. There were at least 2 cars at the front of the intersection going straight, so I could have bumped down in front of the forwardest right-turner and gotten into my usual position at the front of the crosswalk, lined up with the bike lane line, so right turners have room to get behind me.

Like I said though, I made a bad decision. I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for it, and I think I learned from it for the next time that happens.
