In the dailycamera. While the article's focus is on cyclists riding two abreast, almost as much vitriol is directed against "a couple riders who want to make a statement and ride in the middle of the lane." That quote from a person on a bike. The Colorado three-foot law set all this off, but very little of the article really has much to do with it. It does have a lot of perspective of the general public about cyclist lane positioning. Comments are typical for an article of this sort.
Oh, almost forgot, but it's one of my pet peeves - the Colorado law lets motorists cross the double yellow to pass a cyclist, unlike the Texas equivalent. In my experience, the Colorado law merely codifies typical practice due to the overuse of double yellow markings.

As a middle-of-the-lane rider, my "statement" is that I cannot trust other road users, specifically motor vehicle operators, to provide the consideration necessary for a safe ride. It then becomes my responsibility, which I gladly accept, to ensure that I am operating in the safest manner possible on a given roadway.
Our recently purchased Screamer reflects this:
