My commute from work to Long Beach would have been impossible to predict without lane-splitting on PCH. A 45-minute-to-2-hour commute turned into a consistent 30 minutes thanks to my ability to keep moving regardless of traffic. <br /><br />Back then, California pollution and noise regulations prohibited loud, non-stock exhausts and CSULB and other state colleges allowed small motorcycles to park anywhere bicycles parked. I could, often, ride right up to my classroom door, secure the bike to a rack or light pole, and carry my gear into the classroom without much hassle. Now that the goons have defeated noise and pollution controls in CA, bikes park with the cages. T.W.

Add to that free covered parking in the basement of my office block instead ofa mile and a half walk each way from a dark and dodgy car park, and I'll take the bike any day!<br /><br />I hope you get filtering legalised.Iannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950664143576637249.post-68689281476034383812014-12-12T09:51:14.147-06:002014-12-12T09:51:14.147-06:00Sitting behind a line of stopped cars with a giant...Sitting behind a line of stopped cars with a giant space available between cars that could be used is insanely frustrating.
