Have you tried riding a bike like this, or is this just some
theory that you cooked up from behind the wind****eld?

The method you describe will result in a large number of near
sideswipes (or worse).  If there's not enough room in a given
lane for a car to safely pass, the cyclist is much safer taking
the lane; drivers can see you better and are more likely to pass
in the adjacent lane when it's safe to do so.
