Quite honestly doing
what you describe is just insane. Can you imagine it? Pedaling at 20 mph in the middle of a 45-mph freeway while there's a huge line of cars behind you waiting for a gap in the oncoming traffic, which might be just as busy, to pass you one at a time. Can you imagine being one of the motorists waiting to pass this crazy cyclist riding down the middle of the road. No, I don't imagine anyone would last very long doing this.
Me??

Maybe there is something to it as there certainly seems to be enough advocates of aggressive lane-taking on high speed roads in both of these threads
