Yeah. I also have different thoughts depending on the roads and the situation. If I have a decent shoulder, I view that as 'my lane' and ride as far up as I can go, right up to the light if able to do so. If there is NOT a shoulder or an inadequate one, then I tend to ride in traffic as if I was any other vehicle: but it isn't very long before I find another road to ride on!
