The ugly (and beauty) of lane sharing in California

Lane splitting is a blessing.

I guess people out there people are used to it maybe and keep an eye out. In New England I could be on fire with thirty foot flames shooting off me, on someones hood flailing about with my bike dragging under the car and they probably still wouldnt notice. Be safe out there.

I wish they would make this legal in Washington. We have some pretty bad traffic up here.

try lane splitting in the south,,,,,,,Nascar fans don't like being passed

Freeway lane splitting is the best. Saves a bunch of time and if done legally it's safer than dealing with drivers here in Missouri in normal traffic.

Pretty cool that they move over a little for you.

join south france
there they all do so (except lorries/big trucks) - even on a small county road you can pass in the middle line.
they really give space for you - better you can´t have a ride there.

and then you come back to e.g. germany and only 30% do so - first 10 km were pure horror for me last summer.

First time I saw it done was in Toronto, a herd of bikes were travelling and as soon as they got into traffic, they all split up and filtered through the traffic, there was even a cop car in the mix but there was zero he could do except probably radio ahead as he was stuck in the traffic line as well..

I thought to myself all it would take is one or two cars to veer over just a bit and those bikes are going down...

Splitting Traffic | Random Thoughts

I have been finding myself splitting traffic quite regularly. For example four lane highway two cars side by side and neither one letting up to let traffic go by and split them in the middle. Not proud of it but have got to the point where I'm sick of people's driving. I'm really going to try...

I lane split through stopped traffic occasionally here in Missouri, albeit illegally. It's my way of introducing it. People get used to it or they don't lol.

Few people lane split. If you are jumping from lane to lane that's weaving not lane splitting. I lane split in California and with a fat bird like the Busa is easy to go down if it gets too tight. So what do I do? I honk their ass to make way. Car is supposed to move over slightly in your lane so that you can pass. If he doesn't I honk his ass lol. Some never even saw me coming. A few beeps rectifies that. Once they see it's a Busa they make way quick.

Its legal to do this in AUSTRALIA and sometime in heavy traffic I do it to but still cautious about doing it I take it pretty easy you never know someone might side swipe you
