I'd probably feel differently if I had to ride through that on my morning commute, but presumably replacing diesel delivery trucks with (even obnoxious) electric bikes is on balance a good thing?
As for trucks and buses parking in the bike lanes, in most states unfortunately traffic laws provide loopholes for that, sadly.

- hunterb123 5y agoThey aren't replacing delivery trucks that stock stores, it's adding to personal deliveries usually done by normal bike or sometimes car depending on the traffic density.
- The-Bus 5y agoAmazon deliveries in NYC are done by a mix of bikes with trailers, the US Postal Service, Amazon's own Sprinter vans, and third-party contractors using their own vehicles (e.g. Lasership). The bikes and trailers are replacing these vehicles, not a normal bike.
