That seems to be opposite to what a lot of cycling instruction videos as well as people in Bike Forums and advocates say to do: to hold your line and avoid the edge where there are lots of hazards.
I've been using the Varia for two months now. I find I can get two 2-hour rides between charging. It works for me. As far as moving to the right...
With the radar I find myself able to ride out into the lane in the smooth part when possible. When I get the tone that a vehicle is approaching I slowly move to the right, but not to the edge. Drivers seem to recognize that I'm aware of them from a good distance and we both go uneventfully on our ways.
