It's have been trying out doing cargo bike pick up for one of my kids from school and I agree. For most people, having someone pass you with less than foot clearance while speeding is the end of the experiment. That said, parking protected bike lanes are a huge boon to bike use. Push for them in your town and people will use the bike lane. There's a group of highschool kids who are doing a bike pool on my morning ride who have showed up now that there is a protected bike lane. The hood height thing is honestly insane. I am over 6 feet high and cannot see over them while standing let alone driving or biking. They seem actually designed as a deniable way to hurt people.
