We've had this discussion before. I will take the lane when there is no
room for a car to pass me safely within the lane, but move back to the
right as soon as practicable. Anything else is just rudeness. The door
zone is part of the bicycle lane, sometimes you can't avoid it.
You don't split lanes on your motorcycle in heavy/stopped traffic?
