As I biker, I agree and understand his point fully but to play devil's advocate, there are MANY bikers who feel they can do whatever they want whenever they want, endangering not only them but everyone around them. Bikers have a status of half-pedestrian half-automobile so it is impossible to create a set of rules that actually works so common sense must apply in order to be safe on the roads. Unfortunately, common sense is often subjective, so there will never be full consenus of what should be done in different situations.
Getting back to his point though, unless you have no other choice (construction is the obvious exception), stay out of the goddamn bike lanes.
