First he states that...

"...Texas law says that cyclists must stick to the right-hand curb or edge, except in a few extreme circumstances..."

...then later...

"...(Texas law puts bicycles "as near as practicable" to the right-hand curb on a two-way street, or either curb on a one-way street, except on a very narrow road or when dodging a hazard or turning left. A second cyclist — no more — can ride alongside.)..."

Now which one do you think people are going to remember and yell at cyclists?

I may get hit from behind one day. It is possible. But if I ride on the edge of the road. I will crash tomorrow into a sewer grate, gravel, or grease spot.
