Uh, wouldn't it be safer riding to the left of traffic here (center lane)?

Well, I guess the advantage would be being killed outright, rather than being gravely injured and suffering a long recovery.

Yeah, that is literally the left turn lane. For both sides.

To state the obvious, what happens at 2:11 is why riding between lanes is a bad idea.

No, it's not that bad - I've ridden in worse in Manhattan. First, the wide angle camera makes spaces look tighter - he didn't get squeezed that badly. Second, with heavy traffic, cars are more predictable because there's less room to move - you really only need to be cognizant of when a gap opens up and who can/will move in to said gap. It's actually less stressful than free-flowing traffic.

Got a picture from today. This cafe is the only thing up there and it's closed. We used to get fries there on the last leg of longer rides. Fries and cokes.

Tire change today.
I was hoping to be back on my CAAD12 that is being held hostage before I wore this out. No dice.
It is now 3 weeks and 2 days since I bought the new frameset. Still not at the LBS. SMFH.
