Oh yeah...and I totally commuted via B-way bridge every day for years and years...the trick when you're coming downhill, is to start looking over your shoulder at the very top of the hill. when you have clearance to move to your left, before the bike lane has moved over, signal, move over to take the full car lane, and coast straight into the bike lane. Like...take the car lane around here (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=n+broadway+and+larrabee,+portland+or&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=60.292321,108.984375&ie=UTF8&ll=45.535305,-122.668759&spn=0.000827,0.001663&z=19&layer=c&cbll=45.53489,-122.66885&panoid=xt0jK5s_VscjszkJbMHZtA&cbp=1,223.79660329130937,,0,16.037889947340293).
