The point is that multi-light waits are caused primarily by volume of traffic, and there isn't that kind of volume in any bike lane.

We could bring driving to an absolute standstill if you wanted to get multi-light waits in the bike lanes for whatever reason.

How the hell did you get that from what I said? Only a complete idiot would
want multi-light waits. The point is that the bike lanes are handling much lighter traffic than the general-purpose lanes.

You don't see multi-light 'gridlock' with pedestrians either, even on streets that definitely aren't prioritized for pedestrian traffic.

Any intersection where there is a walk light is
de facto prioritized for pedestrian traffic – as anyone can attest who has tried to make a right turn on a green light in downtown Calgary during business hours.
