In Memphis the narrowest part of the road is usually at an intersection where they have tried to squeeze in a turn lane. If I am at an intersection like this in the far right lane I usually have a car pull up right next to me. This is dangerous and against the law. You may not pass any vehicle in it's own lane unless there is three or more feet of clearance.
I think we've been over the whole "respect for the rules of the road" argument. There is fault on all sides with regard to this. Cars, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians all have people who don't respect the rules of the road. It's not just bicycles.
