Depends on the location. Some places have high concentrations of bad pedestrians. In Austin there's one bike lane in particular where cyclists need to pay close attention to pedestrians, who often treat the bike lane there as an extension of the sidewalk.

Some cyclists are awful too. If the cyclists are bad enough then I might avoid the bike lane myself...
