If there is a fog strip like the one shown in the horse picture, then I am in it. If the fog strip is nothing more than a 1' strip of asphalt on the edge of the road (Usually what the fog strip dwindles down to at intersections), then that is no fog strip at all and I get out & take the lane.

To further clarify my intersection behavior, if I intend to go straight I do not occupy the right turn lane - I get in with crossing traffic.

lf the fog strip is wide enough I don't feel squeezed when a car or truck goes by. To me at least that situation is no different than riding in a marked bike lane on a residential street - Motorists already intuitively know that they are supposed to stay to the left of the white line. Anyone who squeezes the fog strip enough to worry me are people that I need to already be watching out for in the first place, regardless of where I am riding. Personally I find the advice from an earlier poster to ride in the lane using the right tire track to be a bigger invitation for a squeeze - when I take the lane, I take the middle so that there is no question that I am claiming it.

Good discussion guys, I don't disagree with much of anything that has been said, just sharing my MO!
