In most places, bicyclists are not OBLIGATED to stay in the bike lane. There may be very good reasons not to be there. It could be in the door zone of cars, or full of debris, or who knows what.
Some argue that bike lanes are bad for this reason: motorists seem to believe that if a bike lane is present, that is the ONLY place a bicyclist should ride.

And that's just not true.
