Cyclists have the right to take the lane at all times, not just when its unsafe to not do so..
Actually, from a legal standpoint, it is written into the law in many states that cyclists must stay "as far right as practicable", with some number of exceptions that varies from state to state. I don't know the laws in NY, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is just where this list came from.
