If you're going 5 mph faster than traffic, you are going to be passing everybody - and allowing everybody a chance to run you over or off the road. If you go with the flow, you will pass a few cars and be passed by a few cars, but the number of different cars you enounter will be far less, lowering the odds of having a brain dead numbskull decide that his car needs to be where your bike is.
If you want to be seen (hint: Yes you do!) then ride in the lane position that makes you most obvious.  |
//I can see where you decrease the number of cars you interact with if you go with the flow. The thing is, some are passing you, and they are in control. If you are going faster than traffic, you increase the number of cages you interact with, but it is on your terms and you are in control.
//Personally I feel more comfortable being the one in control.
