OK I watched the whole darn thing... I saw areas with good shoulder and lots of areas with some pretty poor shoulder. From about 4:50 to about 5:30 the shoulder of the road was pretty poorly torn up. I saw that the rumble strip covers only about 1/2 of the shoulder and might actually act as a "barrier" to MV, thus providing some protection to the cyclist. I also saw some bad debris, a few parked vehicles and some pretty minor debris.

But the thing I noticed the most was that while the MV traffic was fast, it was only heavy near the traffic lights... for the most part there is room for a motorist to move to the left lane to avoid a cyclist. The traffic lights appeared to be the biggest impediment to the smooth flow of traffic on that road.

As a cyclist, I would consider riding the shoulder only where possible... just in an effort to stay out of the way of distracted drivers... but at the same time I would not hesitate to take the lane where necessary; there was plenty of room for motor vehicles in the next lane over... I would also be inclined to take the lane around those right turn and merging areas. And last, I would highly recommend more very bright lights on the back of the helmet or backpack or whatever... so they can be seen a long way behind... and overtaking traffic would have plenty of notice that the lane is occupied and to move over.

Would I take the lane the whole way... no, as I said, there was some very serviceable shoulder there and the rumble strip would actually act to protect a cyclist in that shoulder.

As far as debris... watch for it and avoid it... some of the stuff shown was bad, but other debris shown appeared to be just gilding the Lilly.

The biggest issue would be in moving back and forth in and out of the shoulder... fast MV traffic can make that a daunting task. I can understand that frustration. But being a co-operative cyclist can also go a long way in positive cycling PR.
