If you are on the right side of the road in a bicycle lane, in some cities, like Portland, Or. It is against the law for a motorist to make a right turn while in the bicycle lane. If there is no bicycle lane, you should be in the far right lane unless you are going to make a left turn up ahead. You should never hug the sidewalk and keep a safe distance from parked cars (door zone). Always place yourself so motorist can see you, and be a predicable as possible (ride straight, don't place yourself that will make you swerve into traffic.)
