Riding a bicycle in the middle of the outside lane will cause little 
inconvenience to motorized traffic if there are multiple lanes each way AND 
traffic is light.  If you try this at rush hour, I guarantee you will tick off 
a lot of motorists, and possibly even receive a ticket from the police for 
impeding traffic, depending upon the local traffic laws.
