I still avoid the bike lanes on Manhattan like the plague. IMO, the bike lanes are designed to get bikes hooked hooked every second corner (alternating one way cross streets). I greatly preferred it before the bike lanes, when I could safely keep left, then move one lane to the right very second block, to allow cars to cross behind me when making lefts.

BTW - there was another right hook crash with injury in NYC yesterday. (Sunnyside, Queens)

One of my objections to bike lanes is that they blur right of way expectations, with cyclists falsely led to believe they have a clear lane to pass slowing vehicles on the right, while forgetting that those slowing vehicles are probably slowing to make a turn.
