I am out in the lane until a car approaches, then I move over once I am reasonably sure I have been seen.
And you still don't understand how that move, right there that you plainly describe might more appear to just be a clueless bike rider swerving around in the road ahead.
A move over as a vehicle approaches from the rear=swerving around? LOLOLOL.
Absolutely, and you're well aware of why you do that. It's control issues you suffer Paul. Same reason you desired to purchased a retirement property in a HOA controlled neighborhood.
Paul must be in full control in all situations, the world revolves around Paul.

When I'm driving down the road and I see a bike traveling in the same direction as I, in my my lane, consistently hugging the fog line, I see them as a rider that has their act together and is very aware there are also cars on the road.
That rider presents little problem, I can suck it over to the center line and pass him by leaving ample room for both he and I.
When I see a bike out in my lane, blocking the road, swerveing around I see an idiot. Totally unpredictable, could be a kid, could be impaired, could be anything. Bring the driving to a crawl, disrupt traffic, there's a fool on the loose. Just because you decide to entertain yourself with a activity that requires alternative use of a roadway don't mean the world must come to a grinding halt for your lame azz.
