As a driver, I'd also really rather that Cyclists had /dedicated/ lanes of travel, isolated from the roadway. If they must be along the same pathway as motor vehicle streets a better design would be to have a physical barrier, like a shrubbery divider, between the traffic and the bike lane, and then a sidewalk. However I'd actually much rather build mega-parking structures at the edges of the actual city, and add ceilings over the roadway (since the NorthWest US does get lots of rainy days); 'caves of steel' (with built in parks) should be the goal.
