I have had issues with a couple of cyclists using those lanes, however.
This past week I have been driving to Stampede Park to do a bit of volunteering there during the Calgary Stampede. On two instances, I have been making a left turn from westbound 9th Avenue onto southbound 4th street with the green arrow turn light in my favor. On both occasions I have had to suddenly stop mid-intersection to avoid an eastbound cyclist in the bike lane proceed through on what would be a red light for him.
Neither cyclist seemed concerned that he had proceeded through the intersection on a red and came close to being a new hood ornament on my car.. Both appeared to consider themselves invincible.
My word to drivers; watch for cyclists in these cycle lanes who have yet to learn traffic safety rules!
