i don't know about the laws where you live but where i live i know the law says
For cyclists, you must ride far enough out from the curb to maintain a straight line, clear of sewer grates, debris, potholes, and parked car doors. You may occupy any part of a lane when your safety warrants it. Never compromise your safety for the convenience of a motorist behind you

this is all i can find for laws in Baltimore. there may be others but that is all i could find
