Like you, Tom, I ride as close to the curb as I can, so that cars can safely get by and I'm not holding up anyone. I've never had an issue - but, I bike very courteously, and I find that drivers have always extended those same courtesies to me as well as a result. Bike like a dick and you piss everyone off and are more likely to have confrontations. Everyone's happy when we all just chill.
Sidebar: Biked to work again this morning (25-30 km); I've done it a few times a week for the last little while and am loving it - thanks again to everyone here who made suggestions on how to get between Kitchener and Cambridge safely! I've dialed in an awesome route (different each way, for variety and based on traffic flow) and it's been great.
