the lane and not on the shoulder.
Usually when people say "take the lane" they mean ride dead smack in the
middle of it, to prevent motor vehicle traffic from coming around you.
Quoting the Wikipedia:
Lane control
/Lane control/ is the practice of a cyclist controlling a lane (also
known as "using the full lane", "taking control of the lane",
"taking the lane" or "claiming the lane") when traveling near the
center of a marked travel lane. Controlling the lane normally
precludes passing within the same lane by drivers of motor vehicles,
while being positioned near a lane edge usually encourages such
passing—even when it is hazardous to cyclists.
