Stop foolishly insisting that a bicycle should always occupy 12' of road space.
I will often and without hesitation use the lane in a manner that doesn't invite dangerous passes, but I'm also flexible, and as it appears in the video, I would be ok with keeping right with the space available.

On the other hand, I wouldn't presume to tell others what they should, or shouldn't do.
