a few reasons.
1. Most of the bike lanes have road debris in them which can puncture a tire or be a hazard.
2. It takes forever to get a bike moving from a stop, if the intersections clear go for it
3. It's much easier to transition to a cross street from the center lane
4. it's fun as hell

Just seems like you're needlessly putting yourself in harms way.
Why wouldn't you want to cycle on a non busy street? Plus, you are blocking traffic.
