If the lane is too narrow to share, it's too narrow to share, and cyclists shouldn't be weaving back and forth between an edge position and primary position. I keep primary position by default, and hold a straight line, UNLESS the lane widens and I can safely move farther right to allow cars to pass in the same lane, or a wide shoulder opens up or whatever. Otherwise if the lane is narrow motorists must change lanes to pass.
