Not only is the "jump" dangerous, but the eastbound approach for cyclists seems deliberately designed to direct them into the "wrong" approach lane, where the NYPD loves to ticket cyclists misled by the infrastructure.
The long-promised redesign can't come soon enough.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.
