Ah yes, the 'Shorewood Singularity', where bikes are suppose to magically jump from one side to the other instantaneusly, violating several laws of physics.
I once brought this up with the VOSH traffic committe, and they basically gave me Robbie's #4. As for which is the 'correct' side, I've always taken the view that the rules of the road are reversed for that small stretch. But because it is ambiguous, it can cause problems. One time I was heading East in the main traffic lane (the big one in the North side, which violates US rules of traffic), and another bicyclist was coming right at me. "You're in the wrong lane" he yelled. There wasn't really much time to discuss my differing point of view. I moved aside, and a collision was averted. VoSH officials need to hear from residents that this is a problem.
