I think this is a generalization. If it's a 2 or 4 lane roadway with narrower lanes, I would stay in the right tire track or in the center of the right lane. But if a 4 lane and cars weren't being diligent about giving enough space (ie, crowding into my lane), I'd ride in the left side of the right lane.

Still, if it's a really wide lane, I might stick in the right tire track, but veer to the right after traffic behind me had slowed down. I'd stay there until they passed.

It also depends on traffic. If there's a lot of traffic and everyone is crowding as they pass, I'd probably get off the road and find another route.

Or head back home and call it a day.
