There is nowhere for the cyclist to go, to prevent that collision either. Second is you make it much easier for cyclists to get right hooked, because drivers can't see the cycling lane.
The real solution, is to make all bike lanes tow-away zones, a car parks in the bike lane, they get towed. A $100 ticket, $75 towing fee, and a $100 impound fee, would work wonders.....
