I don't like bike lanes either. For the same reason I don't like driving.
Cause you can't trust another driver. As others mentioned, proper infrastructure would make bike "lanes" a thing of the past. Where I live we have multiple bike-trails that go through the city but IMO it's still only partially decent enough, because every 1.5 blocks is a crosswalk, so you're risking it going over 15mph (slightly faster than a casual biking speed) or wavering your speed between 6 and 15. Which is fine but seems to defeat the purpose of having a trail specifically for bikes.
