I have about a 15 minute commute and I generally just go along with traffic. I'm temporarily in Houston so I've had to get used to people in general not knowing what to do with a bicyclist on the road. They've usually given me a good amount of room and I definitely stake my claim to the lane. Don't want anyone thinking he/she can just sneak past me without hitting me. Anyway, the other day I was minding my own business, stopped at a light. When the light turned green, a woman passed me and yelled out the window... "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO RIDE AGAINST TRAFFIC!" Since people in cars don't realize that bikes are often faster than they are, she probably wasn't expecting me to show up at her window. When I got there, I just told her that her information was incorrect and she should check out rules of the road for bikes. She wouldn't even look at me. Can you imagine... a bicyclist riding on the road... against traffic!? lol That chick would freak out if I came at her head-on. Back to Colorado in a few weeks where most people know the rules... regardless of if they follow them!
