Your point on California was very interesting so I looked it up.

Sharing the road (FFDL37)
How far to the right?
Ride in the right lane but not so far that you may hit the curb. You could lose your balance and fall into traffic. Do not ride too far to the right. When a traffic lane is too narrow for a bicycle and a vehicle to travel safely side by side.
When to take the traffic lane
" narrow road ride closer to the center of the lane. This will prevent motorists from passing you when there is not enough room."
