I wouldn't be surprised if people do use the lanes, and they just look empty to people who aren't actually measuring because they have so much more capacity than general-purpose lanes do. A general-purpose lane with 500 cars per hour looks pretty busy, but a bike lane would need more like 1500 bikes per hour to appear similarly used.

Maybe... And hear me out here... The solution is to improve bike infrastructure so people actually want to use the lanes?
