When I ride in the center of the lane, which is normally called "taking the lane," I don't do it in the spirit of retaliation. Rather, I do it when in my judgement the lane is too narrow to allow passing. I hope to signal to following cars that there is no room to pass and they shouldn't try it. Hugging the gutter in such cases tempts drivers to try to pass when it's unsafe.
