I agree with Erik W. I was skeptical at first of riding further to the left until I tried it. At first it seemed less safe. Then I saw, almost immediately, how it works and how it increases safety. Don't try to "be considerate" by making yourself smaller in the lane. Make yourself bigger and save your own life. It helps drivers too b/c it can be a life-altering negative experience (for most people) to accidentally kill or permanently maim someone just b/c you misjudged distance and the speed of someone on a bike. Taking the lane/one-third of the lane helps drivers evaluate distance and speed more accurately.
