The Lady or the Tiger? Where do I ride?


Here's a one-way couplet street. It has three 10' wide lanes in one direction, along with an area to the right side of the road beyond the edge stripe (this road use to be two-lanes, two-way, with roughly 18' wide lanes). It's both an urban thoroughfare, and a State Highway... and by the way, this is morning rush hour peak in bicycle unfriendly Dallas. Where go ye?

I would also be comfortable in the center of the left-most lane.

I'd be in the left tire track of the right-most lane.

Not being familiar with the road, if it is a couplet, it may eventually merge with the lanes going in the opposite direction resulting in a two-way street, in which case I wouldn't want to be in the left lane unless preparing to turn left.

If I pick the Prius answer, do I win a Prius so I can pick it? If I win the Prius, can I sell it to buy bike stuff with? Finally, does the chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?
