This got me thinking: Does this mean that kids these days aren't doing the banana telephone thing? I'm young enough to never have seen a telephone (as opposed to a mobile phone) other than in movies and museums, but maybe I lived in sufficient temporal proximity to the era of wired telephones to have banana telephones as a part of my childhood.
I say it's perfectly fine to be in the bike lane. Much better than the sidewalk, when you're going at that speed.
However, I would like to emphasize the importance of staying to the right at all times unless passing someone. Cyclists, bikers (less adept cyclists), and escooter riders should all adhere to this, but in my experience escooters are far less likely to do so. Same with signaling --- tell people around you with hand signals which way you're going to go well in advance, and go (gradually, carefully) toward that side of the bike lane / bike path before turning to ensure you don't cut anyone off. Don't weave between people. Be aware of your surroundings. Please don't kill or maim anyone.
Good luck out there! Welcome to the land of the free from cars!
I didn't see the point of what you were saying until you mentioned it would be a way to express disagreement without calling the post itself bad and/or limiting its reach.
(I notice that's what's happening in this post: people don't like the idea, so they downvote, which I think is uncalled for because it means we can't distinguish low-effort spam and trolling from valid but unpopular ideas like yours.)

Fair enough.
