What are these "bike lanes" of which you speak?

Seriously, we don't have any bike lanes in Dallas. When I come up on a red light, if the lane is wide enough, I move the left side of the lane and pull forward, as far as I can. Sometimes I still have to wave the right turning cars through.

If the lane is too narrow to allow this, I maintain the center of the lane and they simply have to wait. The last thing you want is an 18-wheeler or other large truck squeezing past you on the left and then turning right, (their rear wheels often roll over the curb and could easily take you out).
