I imagine if someone is the type to get mad at a motorcyclist doing this then they'd probably get mad at a cyclist too. I will say that there's a massive size disparity between the two, with motorbikes capable of weighing 400kg while the average road bike is closer to 10kg. I know which one I would be more nervous about when I see it weaving by me. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JoBo@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago (2 children) If you were on a motorbike test, you'd fail it if you didn't filter. Much more dangerous to sit in traffic.
