That is incorrect. You might wish to look up the law. Cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as cars and can occupy an entire lane, just like cars, on sub-standard width roads (as we have in The Villages). There are several instances where you will see cyclists more to the center of a lane for safety reasons. This will happen often when approaching roundabouts to prevent cars from squeezing cyclists into the curbs. The Village's roads are not wide enough for a bike and car to coexist in the same lane (sub-standard width roads). Most cyclists will normally stay in the right most third of the right lane but there is still insufficient width for a car to pass in the same lane. You must move to the other lane when passing.
