Would you choose to ride with traffic or against traffic? Why?
the best way is to go against traffic, obviously on the far left side of the road.
Because the other way around you'll die of a heart attack due to constant noise of cars you can't see coming...

Going against traffic, won't make it much safer, but it will be less scary and you'll see the danger as it closes in on ya.
You should not lane split on a bicycle, you won't last 5 minutes that way on a high way.
