Agreed. I’ve almost been “doored” at least a few times (although no bike lanes were on those streets), but even that can be fatal to a cyclist.
Obviously I try to look and see if someone is in the car and opening the door, but that “reach around” technique is there for a reason.
Sorry, I can’t remember the name of it when you use your right hand to open the door (in the countries that drive on the right side) so you can see what’s coming. But I like calling it the reach around.
