I rarely bother with bike lanes personally, it's not worth the aggravation. One bike lane has you flying down a nice hill (Greenwood) in the door zone. Generally the bike lanes disappear at street corners so the solid line (ignored) becomes a dashed line (invisible) so you are now on the right of right turning cars. Too many people get smoked here going straight on bikes while cars turn right. Both people claiming ROW BUT, the BL and DL have become the SAME L, so it's sharing time. I see you're in NYC , I was there recently there you have some nice bike lanes and bike only lights. If you can navigate NYC you'll have no issues here, because you ARE used to head's up, no assumption riding then. Some NYC BL's are soooo sweet in comparison.
