He means "Get out of the bike lane and into the traffic lane if it will help people Not hit you."

If you nearly got hit, something went wrong. Blame the driver, or the other driver, or the traffic engineer ... I don't care ... but when it is My skin getting gouged and torn, My bones getting broken, I take action to prevent those things from happening .... Including getting way off to one side or right in the middle or wherever else ....

When I started there were No bike lanes. You just rode your bike and survived. I guess it is a lost art.
