can i ask why this annoys you? if you had a bike and the ability to filter through heavy traffic would you not?
I know I would, not like they are going to hold you up any, they are up there in front and away before you usually get your foot up off the clutch

I too always give bikers plenty of room to pass, and in doing so have NEVER had one pass without putting the thumb up or hand....makes it worthwhile

The ability to filter traffic (safely) is one of the best aspects about motorcycles, and it doesn't hold up other traffic at all
I hope that you are not one of the people who trys to squeeze bikers so they cannot pass you when filtering, it costs nothing to give a bike a bit more room when filtering.

its annoying cos you're an idiot and you cant cope with having to sit for hours in traffic. lane splitting when done safely is definitely one of the best aspects of riding a bike. ive followed a few CHP bikes splitting lanes on the freeways when its a dead stop. its just beautiful and keeps the bike from overheating.

And your meant to be a moderator? good joke.
So it doesnt matter if cars overheat? as long as your bikes dont.
Jees i thought public forums were for opinions, your hardly perfect yourself , but if i called you an idiot i'd get three point. wise up.

Thats nasty no matter who is at fault, someone will be left sonless,fatherless,brotherless etc. and amanda if you have ever rode a bike ie not just up a lane or something silly you would soon change your views. I have alot of time of bikers cause most of them have their wit about them on the road and not out in a fast vehicle so people can look at them (not directed@anyone), they have the power and should know when and how to use it.

A bike filtering traffic is actually aiding traffic flow. They are creating an extra lane and thus freeing up space for you and your car.
I find your attitude a little immature on this subject tbh.

i'm sorry manda but a retort like 'cos its just annoying' doesn't deserve a sensible response at all. If you did ride a bike you would change your views for certain. In case you didn't realise, cars rarely overheat, they have a radiator which is fan assisted. Bikes have much more compact cooling systems and can overheat and is one of the reasons that lane splitting in california is perfectly legal. i'd rather split the lanes making my own progress than sit in stop/start traffic and wait for some t**t who's not paying attention to rear end me.
if it annoys you, im glad. long may it continue.

You just like being an annoying sarky boy dont you? Typical i didnt expect much more.
And your in CA, not N.i were its rarely over the likes of 10 degrees anyways.
i hate bikes, with a passion, there far more dangerous and theres not many guys who buy them to drive semi sensibily, there mostly always acting the arse and being dangerous to other road users. that video just shows it all.
Bike users just get frowned upon as much for acting the **** as cars users do, and we cant even reach the silly speeds that you guys do in most cars.
for most road users there is nothing more annoying than having been sitting in traffic for ten minutes in a queue of traffic waiting to get through a set of traffic lights when just because you have a bike thats smaller you can snipe through and get there quicker. The civic even got its mirror knocked of buy a guy on a bike with bad judgement when he thought he could get thru a space which obviousley wasnt big enough.
