bike lanes commandeered by vehicles.

D: the problem I have in town is how they pull out of normal traffic without checking for bikes. In a bike lane...
Many harsh words get uttered.

This is a good reason to NOT make bike lanes any wider than a yard.
Too easy to become another traffic/turn lane.

The other problem with bike lanes is when a traffic lane is an actual or de facto turn lane, the bike lane needs to continue over to the left on row of traffic.
