So.... a police officer told me today that he could have charged me for "obstructing traffic" because I was biking down the middle of the lane on Elgin. But then, he was "being nice" and didn't because the person in the SUV behind me was honking at me. I'm still processing....
The officers tried to convince me that I'm *legally* obligated to move over to allow cars to pass.
That by saying I was biking in the lane I was admitting to obstructing traffic.

They completely ignored the middle-aged white man harassing me (both honking and yelling at me) in the vehicle behind me.
This was also my fault & lead to my "obstructing traffic" charge threat:
I stopped at a red light.
Several cars piled up behind me.
The light turned green.
I was travelling at about 24-25 km/h in a 30 km/h zone.
Cop: "Did you see the line up of cars piled behind you?"
