A non-biker recently asked me why no-one has petitioned the government to make the right hand "emergency lane" on freeways a bikers only lane during peek traffic hours only, similar to the bus lanes.
Rather implement ideas like this, instead of banning lane splitting.
That's almost a great post!!! Except ...
Why don't people who want to ride bikes to work learn to ride them properly BEFORE tackling morning traffic?
This is a real question.
At the moment, we have cagers climbing on bikes, riding and thinking like cagers, and writing themselves off.
Why are bikers riding into stationary vehicles at 80km/h? Several this year already. Answer that BEFORE anything else. And please also explain how you will prevent broken down cars entering this biker suicide lane?
Lane splitting is safer than suicide lane. Even the beemer i picked up the other day crashed his bike because he was coming out the suicide lane, travelling too fast for his own damn good.
