Disagree. Bike lanes placed between full-width thru lanes and parking lanes are the most dangerous kind. A woman was killed in Boston not long ago when she was doored while riding in such a lane, and flung into the path of a bus.

Parking lanes frequently become right-turn lanes when they reach an intersection, and so these bike lanes suddenly (usually without warning) simply disappear, or become some sort of indecipherable dotted-line thingie that no driver understands, and the cyclist is hung out to dry.

These sorts of bike lanes are inherently dangerous because they try to force traffic into non-standard patterns, and they're particularly nasty because they're common in high-density areas like city centers where, during rush hour, they put cyclists directly into the path of turning vehicles at intersections.

Personally, I ride outside the door zone at all times. If that puts me outside the bike lane, so be it.
