Fair enough.

I see many bicyclists try to do it when there are no obvious bike
lanes.

Many of our John Prescott memorial cycle lanes in the UK are now no
longer obvious or visible, at least not along any significant proportion
of their length. So it might be that the cyclists in question are just
being nostalgic. There ain't nowt so queer as folk.
