Quite the opposite, Forrester insisted that cyclists should ride in the center of the lane, with cars. The central idea of his Vehicular Cycling was that cyclists should be using the road in exactly the same way as drivers.

The rule is, you keep to the right side of the lane you need to use.
So unless you’re making a left, or not using the right turn lane, you keep to the right side of the right-most lane. Which is something like 98% of the time.
