anonymo June 4, 2006 Share anonymo Member June 4, 2006 Looks like fun...I might be nuts but I would have the urge to swerve if some jack was screaming down the highway splitting cars like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tek-Almighty June 4, 2006 Share Tek-Almighty Member June 4, 2006 What a moron... People wonder why car drivers get irked at bikers...cutting in between cars and riding the shoulder. I saw a guy doing the same thing outside of Chicago on 290 in backed up traffic. I was just waiting for one of the cars sitting stuck in traffic to open a door and end that crotch-rocket rider.

Chief June 4, 2006 Share Chief Member June 4, 2006 In communities with lots of bikes, that's the norm. Like in LA or Europe, bikes go down the middle lanes and around the traffic...Which seems smart to me, why should they continue to be a part of the flow of traffic when they can go around it? (well, not at 150, but it bumper to bumper commuting). fun vids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why shouldn't they...they ARE a part of traffic, if noone considered them as such, then riding would be much, much more dangerous. It's the same reason why when I had a 400 hp Impala SS, I didn't drive it around like I owned the road. Sure I could'a smoked everyone all the time, and beat lights, and passed folks up and down, but I didn't... That is the difference between having laws and following them. Just cause you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Edited June 6, 2006 by Tek-Almighty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillow_Head June 6, 2006 Share Brillow_Head Member June 6, 2006 Motorcycles are concidered by the DMV to be the exact same as cars and trucks...take up the same amount of space...ie one lane. Going in between traffic gives the other riders a bad reputation, and in the long run, probably hurts more people than just abiding by the rules of the road.

Just cause you can do something, doesn't mean you should. technically in CA, there is no law against lane splitting... there is no law for it either, it is just not written anywhere... most states have laws against lane splitting though..... I ride a rocket, and never ride like that. No one I ride with does it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymo June 6, 2006 Share anonymo Member June 6, 2006 My biggest pet peeve are bikers (cyclists mostly but motorcyclists too) that totally disregard the rules of the road. It drives me nuts when I'm driving around downtown. When I'm trying to make a right turn I generally get right up against the curb to stop bikes from coming up beside me. I absolutely hate it when someone on a bike pulls up at the last second and hovers infront of where I'm trying to turn. If I had my way I would make it illegal for bikes to pass cars in the same lane. This is all really just bicycles though and then mostly couriers. But boy do they really grind my gears! About a month ago I was driving up a big hill (most of Toronto is one giant hill) some cyclist had latched onto my wheel well and was enjoying the free ride. I was seconds from killing him (literally, I was about to swerve, he latched onto the wrong car) when he must have noticed me honking and let go, I would have chased him but he bolted down a side street that I passed too quickly. If I ever see the guy again I'm going to ruin his bike (and probably his knees). Ok I'm done.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
