IDK, I'm not a fan of parking on both sides. In the examples you showed, there was either no parking or parking on one side facing oncoming bicycle traffic. If you put parking on both sides, bicycles end up in the door zone if they stay in their lane. Cars will push cyclists into the door zone with this design because they feel they have a right to the center lane.

I would be okay with this if the parking were only on one side.
