In my city I never (and I mean never - people just don’t do it here, they even avoid getting caught in the fucked up turn lane stuff) see people drive in bike lanes, so this seems like a NY City asshole kind of thing.
I live in a city where most of the bike lanes are just a dedicated shoulder. When I’m driving on these roads, 100% of the time if I’m following someone, they will drift into the bike lane. I also ride my bike in that lane, so I’m extra alert to it. Not so much a parking issue, but lazy and distracted drivers are a plenty.
Where I live bikes have as much if not more rights on the road than cars! For every 10mph in a car passing, u have to give them 10 feet. They have full right to use a car lane, and apperantly don’t need to stop at stop signs or lights lol. This is very rare for USA but the states culture makes it possible for bikers to get around even in rural areas! Lots of Q tips out here biking on the main routes, I see them pretty regularly. Not so many young people though!

I see taxi drivers doing it regularly.
Nah. I see it plenty in Seattle, though I’m sure it’s a much bigger problem in New York.
