The discussion following this video on YouTube is well worth reading too, as it covers both California and Virginia law about lane position.
Update: if you’d like to learn to ride confidently and safely in traffic, like the cyclists in this video, and you live in northern Virginia or the District, consider Allen Muchnick’s summer 2008 bike safety classes.
D’Souza and Gutierrez are doing some great work with their Dual Chase View (TM) video technique. You can see some of their other videos at CyclistView, where they also have powerpoint presentations, and other bike safety training materials available.
