Buffalo, about the undertaking thing - why do you reckon motorcycles never ride on the inside, even if there is enough room?
Also, what you said about passing on the right - maybe fit cyclists on road bikes can do this, but after traffic frees up, most cars will accelerate and start going faster than the cyclists, legally they should overtake the cyclists on the right but that never happens. They would undertake us. Then the cyclists will be in a more dangerous position, don't you think?
So, it's probably safer for us to be on the inside 99% of the time but, there normally isn't a dashed white line to indicate a cycle lane, so undertaking cars is a bit dodgy as glow said. It's all a bit confusing and opinion-based, so let's just be careful out there and look out for each other/the less experienced.
