This is driving 101. Many, perhaps even most states require all motor vehicles to use the right lane, and to use the left lane for passing slower vehicles. This is interpreted as "fast lane, slow lane." The bike lane is a separate lane, for bicycle use only. Generally, motorists are not allowed to use the bike lane, and cyclists are required to use it, except under specific circumstances.

The vehiclar cyclist treats the bike lane the same as a slow vehicle driver treats the shoulder - space to use to allow faster traffic to pass. Now, just like a farmer may choose to driver for longer periods in the shoulder, so may the vehicular cyclist.
Nonsense. That's how you ride. The Vehicular Cyclist rides in accordance with the law.
