With Alacrity you ought to listen to Iceman. If you're riding on the wrong side of the road even at a moderately busy intersection and someone is making a left hand turn and they are in a bit of a rush it is very unlikely they will see you until you are right in front of them. There are quite a lot of cyclists in Montreal who ride like you do and I've come within inches of running over several of them. Up here the police can and will stop you and give you a ticket for riding on the wrong side of the road. People who pull out of driveways or side streets are also unlikely to see you.
