Not when there's a bike lane.  Even when not, the rules here are
questionable, at least in Texas, since bicyclists are required to stay on
the right hand side of the lane to allow cars to pass.  If cars can pass
in the lane, then certainly bicyclists should be allowed to return the
favor, don't you think?
