Just FYI on the "Bikes can use the full lane" laws in all 50 states, the same vehicle codes also provide guidelines on "Obstruction of traffic." Clearly cyclists who are moving at 1/3rd the posted limit and taking a full lane are obstructing traffic. In many states, the right lane on a multi-lane road with 2 or more lanes in any direction exempts the slow lane from Obstruction laws. But it doesn't change the moral obligation of cyclists to -keep-up- with traffic and not obstruct it. If you think you own the lane, don't be a dog in the manger and block it for all vehicles, including the cyclist that's wanted to pass up the Fred ahead of him. Ownership comes with responsibilities...
