I understand bicycles should ride on the right side of the street, close to the sidewalk; however, here we have "turn-right-only" lanes for cars. If I stay all the way to the right of the street, I will eventually end up in a turn-right-only lane. Should I move to the middle lane if I intend to keep going straight? or should I take the turn-right-only lane and keep going straight (after making a stop, of course)???

I am a total newbie on this, and I'm trying not to make mistakes. Any feedback would be appreciated.
