My bike commute involves a few miles of 4-lane road with narrow to marginal outside lanes, posted 35 in one section and 45 in another. I ride in the center of the outside lane on those sections. Every couple of weeks I might get a horn honk; once a year or so somebody tells me to get on the sidewalk or ride in the gutter. No big deal; I prefer that to the frequent close passes that result if I ride near the right edge in those locations. I've been riding this way in those locations for over 10 years now.
