BINGO! Don't have bike lines by me but I view them similarly to the way I view the sidewalk..
And this is exactly what I tell my coworkers. I feel safer biking in the street/road than on the sidewalk.
Cars pull out, block the sidewalk.. they aren't looking there before they turn.. but if I'm in the street I am in their direct line of sight.
