Patrick: Perhaps part of the latest change is simply because now people recognize you and consider you a part of a community, rather like the people you meet regularly at the checkout line or while walking the dog; you become friendly with them. Patrick, you've become "that guy who I always see riding his bike."
As to riding toward the left, I found and still find that true on the nearby 4 lane, cross-town, and very busy (because 1 of the few routes across the Rio Grande) Montano Boulevard, which has narrow bike lanes with traffic whizzing by at 50 mph. When I kept to the right of the bike lane, cars came closer than when I stay right in the middle of the bike lane.
