I suppose I should have taken the lane but I can't really do that all the time and it's hard to know when. If I took the lane all the way to and from work I expect three things would happen:
1. My usually stress-free commute would become usually stressful
2. A lot of drivers actually would want to kill me
3. Bikes would eventually be banned from rush hour routes

So I will keep looking in the mirror and try to better predict when I should move over.

These kinds of threads should go in A&S. Mainly so I won't see them. But... you posted it here... I've seen it... let's start with the very last line first... wtf do you mean by that? Move over? FYI more cyclists get killed looking in their mirrors, or at their rear clusters than get killed looking where they are going!
