	There is no safe way to ride where you are expected - 
much less where you are not, as in splitting lanes or riding
in the breakdown lane.  Bicycles must constantly split the
lanes of the travel and parking lane and must constantly be
alert for cars changing lanes or opening doors without
looking for anything other than a two-ton mobile box - if
even for that.
	My strategy is not to split the lane but to ride on
the line and move with the faster of the two traffic lanes.
I still don't count that as safe; but it does relieve the
frustration of being trapped among the behemoths.
