Today I was very conscious of claiming the lane on a particular stretch of 21st Street where I've been buzzed a couple of times. There's a slight downslope from Q to L streets so I can maintain 22-25 mph without strain where the speed limit is 30mph. Forget the right wheel track, I grabbed the dead center of the lane.
Worked well and had no problems with the motorists. I wonder what they think of that crazy guy on the road bike with a tie and button down shirt.
