On my commute, if I try to "take a lane..." I'll end up as bug splatter on the grill of a 2 ton car. The only safe way to ride to work is either using the bikepaths (which don't typically follow roads so take 3x as long, or ride on the sidewalk.

I agree that taking the lane can be difficult and I can only imagine in USA how much harder this is. Here in the UK the number of times I've had people squeeze by me at speed, rather then waiting to overtake safely - but I do find it happened far far less once I got out the gutter and into the road.
