Just starting to get into road biking and commuting and have a question. I know there is a point on my route to work where I have to cross 3 lanes of traffic to get into the left hand turn lane. What is the easiest way to do this? Do I;

1. Get immediate over to the far left and ride that side of the street until I hit the point where I make my left hand turn? (which I don't think)

2. Ride in the far right until my left hand turn and then move over to the left?

Thanks
