that's not what's actually in the law, at least in NYS:

Upon all roadways, any bicycle shall be driven either on a usable 
bicycle lane or,
if a usable bicycle lane has not been provided, near the right-hand curb 
or edge
of the roadway or upon a usable right- hand shoulder in such a manner as 
to prevent
undue interference with the flow of traffic except when preparing for a 
left turn or
when reasonably necessary to avoid conditions that would make it unsafe 
to continue
along near the right-hand curb or edge.
