Would you ride along in the middle of the lane at 25mph with a blind curve in back of you, knowing that a car might come around that curve behind you at 55mph any second? What if they are dialing on their cell phone or changing thier cd at the moment? If you ask me, not much different than if you were jogging along in the middle of the lane!
Myself, I'll stay near the edge of the right hand white line on a major road with no shoulder and poor visibility. Cars pass me going in opposite directions all the time with no shoulder- to me it's just part of riding. I *do* take the lane however in dangerous situations if I feel cars will see me there before they hit me!
