Indeed, I don't ride my bike on multi-lane roads if I can avoid them, so I'm only talking about roads where my choices are riding in the traffic lane or ducking into the parking lane. In my locale it's pretty easy to get around on neighborhood streets and bike paths, so I'm actually rarely sharing the road with a lot of car traffic.
