I agree, don't hug the curb.
But its worth noting that this stretch of Old Univ. is goofy. Heading
west, you have:
* a real bike lane
* bike lane turns into 'right-turn-only except possibly if you're on a
bike' lane
* across the intersection, about 10 feet of 'bike lane' that makes not
sense at all,
* forcing you to merge into a single 'sharrows' lane.
Its an improvement from when I was hit there 5 years ago, but the
abrupt changes can be confusing.
Quoting "Paul T. O'Leary" <[email protected]>:
+1. And get a mirror.

Great advice from Robbie. Never, ever hug the curb. It's full of
tire-destroying debris and weaving in and out to avoid parked cars
will get you doored, injured or killed. You are a vehicle, be that
and take charge of the traffic lane that's available to you.

Yeah, I saw the news story yesterday. This is my 'hood, so I know
that you have to be out in the middle of the lane as you pass
through the intersection or you will end up behind a parked car.
Do not hug the curb!
