You have to own the lane if your going to be on a busy road. I avoid major road ways, only using when forced (rare) and only use rural roads and less busy area's. When riding on busy road you have to own the lane nearest the shoulder, ride in the wheel rut.
If you don't you risk having drivers pass you full speed with only inches between you. Not good. If you own the lane than you force the drivers to slow down and wait to pass you. I try and think of it as when you were a kid you probably saw alot more tractors on the roads going back and forth between fields. Same thing as i am going the same speed (25-40kmh).
I try and respect the rules of the road but I lack and run lights etc when in non traffic situations. I am trying to stop chasing drivers down who brush me too. we all can be on the roads but some should be avoided due to speeds and traffic. common sense must be used.
