I'll quote directly from Florida Statute 316.2065(5), in part:

"Roadway position [316.2065(5) A person operating a bicycle on a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic under the conditions existing must ride in the lane marked for bicycle use or, if no lane is marked for bicycle use, as close as practicable [safe] to the roadway's right-hand curb or edge, except under any of the following situations..."

I think the distinction is that while it may be possible for a rider to ride inches away from the curb, it is not practicable or, safe, to do so.
