So i've been lane splitting the same highway for over four years now. Since they were doing horrendous road works, where there wasn't even space for bikes, until now, where the highway has been improved, and it's all great and happy.
Now i guess i'm about the only rider who is still riding from back then, but a whole bunch of new guys have also taken to riding to work. The thing is, none of them lane split, they all take the shoulder lane next to the fast lane of the highway. Yeah that's illegal, but i'm not worried about that.
Now i tried the shoulder to work, it's really cool and fast and easy and most say safe. But i disagree, and i'd like to get your input.
