Understand though the apprehension for a new rider. The lane is a scary place for a new rider and until you start to see that the further out you get the safer you are, new riders will tend to hug the curb thinking they are safer not to be in traffic. I mean they did just venture out from the sidewalk where they were "safe".

I think a lot of that fear and apprehension comes from when we were growing up. Our parents inherent fears that we were gonna get killed in the street. Shoot, I was at a family get together a few weeks ago and was talking to my grandfather about my riding. He asked, "You ride in the street?" I replied with "Yup". His reply back, "Man that is dangerous. You really should be on the sidewalk where the cars aren't gonna run up on ya." Pretty sure you know my reply so I'll spare ya.
