The unsafe condition of substandard-width lanes is that drivers may unlawfully and dangerously attempt to pass within the lane or use the adjacent lane when there is conflicting traffic. Although that practice subjects the overtaking motorist and the on-coming motorist to some danger, the bicyclist is the one most likely to suffer harm in those circumstances.
The provision in the Bicycle Regulations allows bicyclists to protect their space for their own safety.
The way they do that is to control the lane. They are not required to keep right. It is legal and it is the safest cycling practice under many circumstances.
Now, if you can show me where that is in the statute, then I will go see my ophthalmologist. If not, please see your psychiatrist.

My bad, I thought you were referring to what I put in bold and underlined, which was directly copied from the statute. Hang out on this site long enough and you do need a psychiatrist
