French bikers against anti-filtering laws

[Visitor Q]

Just saw this and thought it was a pretty cool idea

I'm sure that the average car driver while annoyed to be filtered passed, is more scared by the thought that if every bike was to take to a car, no one would never get home...

I fail to see how the police could ever enforce a no filtering ban in any of the major european cities.

I'm just wondering how they would enforce the giving of a ticket? Surely they could only catch them if they were following on a police motorcycle, and hence breaking the law in order to enforce it?

And where would the pull them over inside miles worth of traffic jams?

What's the French governments reason for fining bikes that filter?

Meh the only "safety" thing they did was get 186mph limiters on bikes

I will give the French one thing. They are very active is showing dissaproval if laws are being thought of that they don't agree with.
We just send on line petitions and moan. Direct action oftain proves a point. Not being political the UK lost the will to action in the 80's, so now if groups strike or take action they are assumed to be the troublemakers. Ie BA cabin crew etc.

That is a really good read, it's good to see people actually going out and doing something in protest to stuff like this.

I wouldn't take too much inspiration from the country that rolled over for a 100bhp restriction on bikes.

The cheese-eating surrender monkeys don't know how to do it right.

That's bloody brilliant, must have been hilarious (for some anyway) to see all those bikers in full gear on the metro.

[tahrey]

Bizarre, surely being able to beat the jams is one of the main reasons to get a bike, particularly a city scoot. Somebody somewhere really has lost the plot. Moving through stationary traffic is no more dangerous than sitting in a queue moving at 15mph. Who's going to change lanes when they can't actually move?
(Heck, I'm sure there's been initiatives to get people on two wheels promoting that very idea).

Are they going to start stopping and fining pedal cyclists who do the same? I don't filter very much faster than I could pedal (on a machine with nasty rubber-on-rim brakes, no lights, horn, tyre width/tread or mirrors, vs one with discs and all the rest), after all.

I'm liking it... wish I could have been a part of it

Those french really know how to protest, we should take a leaf out of there book me thinks, besides its fun

We always rip the piss out of the French, they might be cheese eating surrender monkeys but they are not afraid of protesting against there own government.

IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE GOOD PEOPLE SHOULD JUMP ACROSS TO https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=198152&start=850

AND SHOUT OUT THAT ITS A BIT RICH TO BIG UP THE FRENCH AND DO DOWN OUR OWN UK BIKERS STANDING THEIR GROUND.
