I'll never going to have to share any lane, anywhere in Florida now, am I?
i can legally ride far to the left.....
What I believe I have been saying is that when it is safe for the cyclist to pull over and allow higher speed traffic to pass them they should do so. If it is unsafe for the cyclist to pull over and allow higher speed traffic to pass they shouldn't.

How is it unreasonable or discourteous for a cyclist to put their safety first?
