He's not talking about lane splitting - he's talking about a cyclist choosing to ride on the shoulder or on the side of the lane as opposed to right smack in the middle. He advocates the latter since the bike is a vehicle and thus entitled to be there and because it makes cars pass you like another car, instead of just whipping by with no room.
