Leave at least 3 feet to right so you have some wobble room if a car get a little too close.
I wasn't advocating riding in the left wheel track. I do so on left turns only. I might do so on a high speed downhill because I can out corner the cars. 'Taking the lane' depends on the situation. In downtown Denver traffic, I'm right in the middle of the lane because I'm moving at their speed. In other situations...higher speed traffic, more lanes, wider streets, narrow streets, etc...I'm where I feel is the safest for the situation.

That doesn't work. Reply or Reply with quote both send me to the same error page. It's only a problem on my lab PC (Piece of Crap
) using Explorer. Not a problem on my Mac using Firefox. Unfortunately, I can't install Firefox on the lab PC...don't have the administrator rights
