Do you have any idea how many of you lane-splitters I have almost killed?

Traffic is moving at ten to twenty miles per hour and all off a sudden just as you are about to make a land change, here comes a guy at 30 miles an hour out of nowhere.

As hard as you try, it’s literally impossible to spot folks like this, especially if there’s a slight bend in the road.

As convenient as it may be for you and other bikers, it’s just not worth the risk to your life and limb IMO. And the drivers of cars shouldn’t be exposed to having to feel guilty for taking one of you out by accident for the rest of their lives either.

The reason why you “almost” killed them is probably that they saw you and got out of the way in time. You on the other hand need to pay a little more attention.

Doughty, are you the guy who decided to throw out that cup of coffee when I was lane-splitting you on my super quiet Valkyrie?

Thanks! Next time go easy on the sugar!
