In one day I found all the reasons to take the lane.

Also, I do hope that you have other places to ride. Your videos are so bleak and depressing (and that's coming from someone who lives in Baltimore!).

Highly unlikely, I have ridden all over the country, and it is the safest way to ride by far.

That's probably how I would have ridden it. The cyclist has maximized his visibility to others and is predictable and legal. He has anticipated hazards - the pedestrian stepping out into the street, the right turn lane (hooks), slick manhole cover, and moving away from the emergency vehicle flashing lights that overshine his bike blinkie.

whoa, they make some crazy sloping roads around where you ride.
