Ride too close to the curb and you risk getting caught on a lip between the asphalt and concrete. That happened to me on the weekend on University Avenue. I almost lost control as my wheel skidded along the edge, and I was very close to falling over into traffic. I was cursing the pavers who left an uneven surface.
Riding one metre away from the curb seems excessive, especially when most bike lanes are less than 2 metres wide (1.75 metres seems to be standard, although some are as narrow as 1.25 metres!).
