Left Turn Across Major Intersection I'm new at biking, and have seen many examples of left-turn situations, but none that quite match this one.  Simply, what is the proper / best way to complete the turn pictured below, or is it smarter just to dismount and act like a pedestrian?



I'm hoping for a catch-all answer, but if it matters, this is in the California bay area.
At any intersection that has marked turn lanes, I position myself inside the outermost turn lane, inside the line enough that I can't be squeezed between a turning car and one going straight. 

I then proceed through the intersection on a slightly wider path than the car will take so as not to impeded traffic any more than possible, and head for the bike lane.
