Main reason I went out that far was because of the wide trailer and truck parked next to the bike lane. I think most of the drivers knew why I was out there, so they didn't have an issue with me. The second white truck driver yelled for me to get out of the road, which was silly... I was not in the best of moods at the time and told him to shut up. He didn't hear me anyway. Most of the time I just wave, because 99% of the time they are yelling a compliment of my rig. Which is nice...

Traffic was slow in this video clip, given the light had just changed, but sometimes they blow past me at 35 to 40 mph. Given that I am on a trike that is stable at slow speeds, it wouldn't be so much a problem as with a bicycle that can wobble and possibly fall over at low speeds, going uphill, under load, being passed relatively close. Depending on the road situation (quite varied around here), I will tolerate it if need be. Riding on highway 1, for example, I have to put up with the heavy and rather fast traffic on a narrow shoulder.

And yes, my trike's width, including the trailer's track, is 33". So from the camera's POV I'm in the right tire track, but my left wheel is over halfway across the lane. I just got tired of people squeezing past me at that section when I was stuck in that position with no place to go... so this time I thought I'd see if I could improve the situation. I signaled, edged out into the right tire track, and watched people use the other lane to pass.
Once I get past that congestion, I can get back in the bike lane, because farther up the road the speed limit increases and when it hits the edge of town, it goes up to 55 mph, and the bike lane turns into a nice bike path seperated from the road by verge and a fence).

Another minor detail; the rider is a she, (me) and in her early 50s.
