legal documentation on the long standing, common and statutory duties of vehicles to operate as far to the right as practicable to facilitate overtaking, you mean?
hilarious bluff.
here's what the California DMV says about bicycling and passing.

Bicyclists may occupy the center of the lane when conditions such as a narrow lane or road hazard make it unsafe to ride in a position that may provide room for a vehicle to pass. With any slow-moving vehicle, drivers should follow at a safe distance. When it is safe the bicyclists should move to a position that allows vehicles to pass. Remember, bicyclists are entitled to share the road with other drivers.
Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as vehicle and motorcycle drivers.
Respect the right-of-way of bicyclists because they are entitled to share the road with other drivers
of course, in california cyclists specifically have the right to substandard lanes. in North Carolina, a state with no bikes frap law, bicyclists entertain no such allowances.
