Correct use of a bicycle lane.

Just a short clip showing how to use an empty bicycle lane at traffic lights.

I hate getting stuck behind traffic here as this just before the on-ramp for the highway, and most people do not get up to speed before trying to merge etc.

I wish filtering was legal here in the US. California is the only state out of 50 that allows lane splitting and filtering.

Though in my genius state they place physical bumps on the painted white lines to separate the lanes, combined with all the rain, those stripes would be death wishes waiting to happen.

I hate sitting in traffic to the point where I will get off the freeway and take back roads.

*Double Thumbs Up* damn idiot cagers who do not accelerate to highway speeds in the provided on ramps.

Filtering is not totally legal here yet either, although we are getting closer to it being completely legal.

There are currently trials going on in some capital cities in Australia that are testing it out. Hopefully this will prove successful and then we will see it Australia wide. Admittedly if they do introduce it/test it in my area, I will be sure to do it politely and not do any wheelies etc, at least for a while.
