I think the true savvy cyclist rides right when practicable and moves left to prevent the problems shown in the animation. If passing in the same lane is unsafe, move left to force cars to go into the other lane. When coming up to an intersection, move left to show other traffic that you're there and planning on going straight.

Riding in the middle of the lane all of the time just makes motorists angry and more likely to take out their anger on other cyclists.
