Problem with this is it makes you about twice as wide. I would take the lane, and go fast. I once rode a section of PCH through Laguna Beach where you were damned if you do, damned if you don't. I did that ONCE. Now I find an alternate route.
From where bike lane ends to where is starts again is about a quarter mile. (Measured on Google Earth). I can sprint that far at about 20+ mph, and would sure do it here.
