I live in the country so i don't have that problem but i can see where the Auto Drivers could get a bit aggrevated but there is a passing lane....If the parking spots were empty it would be one thing to ride the right edge but full of cars???? No wAY....The chance of somebody opening a car door in your path hurts like hell....I get aggravated as a car driver when i get behing a moped or a group of Cyclists on a country road that take most of the lane but know that i am that cyclist sometimes and i give them room and pass when safe....The laws are the laws and even as a LEO if you don't enforce them correctly like this LEO did the he was not doing his job properley... The damn bike lane symbols in the middle of the street was a pretty good hint that you can ride there....Not sure about the impeding traffic thing... i didn't read the whole law thingy also....Good for you to stand your ground and keeping your cool.
