> My "solution" to this problem is to carefully but fully occupy the bike lane before making such a turn.

In California, that's not illegal, it's the law. It's on the driver's test. Kind of counterintuitive at first, but seems much safer and also more consistent with the way turns are handled with any normal lane.

Might be in my state, too. Most bikelanes here have a solid white stripe all of the way to the intersection, which would seem to forbid this.

What do you do when making a right turn when there's a bus only lane to your right?

Same thing, though I think all our bus lanes are right-turn lanes, too. In any case, I trust bus drivers a lot more than bicyclists. :-/
