That quote clearly shows most of the danger is from cars against the curb. Its why i absolutely will pass a parked car on the sidewalk if its clear. Even if theres a bike lane, if some asshole is parking on it or using it to drive in then theyre forcing me either into the middle of the road or onto the sidewalk, im gonna choose the sidewalk. The exception is if i can tell they’re turning right and then i always go to the left of them, because noone ever checks the fucking bike lane before turning.
