On Morse and Bueni Vista I hung the white line in right lane so not to slow down fellow Villagers when I am legally entitled to the whole lane and can't remember a ride when I didn't have someone go by me closer than 18". To my golf cart friend, you're not going to get hurt if that bicycle rider drafting on you hits your cart although if someone was indeed that close it was rude. How about a thread where bike riders can criticize car drivers?

I also ride. I don't know where you get this idea that you are legally entitled to the whole lane. Florida law is clear about this. You are required to ride as far to the right of the road as safely as possible. That does not entitle you to the whole lane.
