While lane positioning is an important component of safe cycling, there are other, broadly agreed upon methods for increasing conspicuity and safety that don't involve the hyper-vigalence and non-standard lane positioning that your "Peek-a-Boo(TM)" method calls for.

You've never heard of bright clothing, lights and reflectors, assertive body language, etc.?
not to encourage this derailment but you're addressing a dude who has claimed to educate motorists he's on the road with using a jedi mind trick of some sort involving a wink & a nod.
