Even though it can be immensely frustrating, I kind of like the challenge of filtering in traffic in London.

Huh? My risk/reward judgement would like a wider gap than that, but otherwise what's wrong with it? There's no solid white line that you're not allowed to cross.
Just need to be careful when passing any side streets that no-one tries turning into you! |

In London it's more about luck, if you have a tw@ cam' watch back your journey and add up all the time you're stationary at traffic lights... that's what makes the difference. |
When I was commuting from my old house, I did this; aggressive filtering vs very calm mostly going with the flow reduced travel time by about 40% (it was 15 vs 25 minutes).
You're right that traffic lights make all the difference; filtering to the start of the lights so you have a clear run to catch up with the previous bunch of vehicles to go through, and potentially skipping a phase in timed sequential lights (e.g. A501 Euston Road across London), is where the really big wins come. Depending on traffic level and type of road, that requires different levels of aggression. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

If you hadn't linked to the exact time of the moment in question, I would of watched the whole video and had no idea what you were talking about.
Basically that's default riding for me. I appreciate some people may not be as comfortable in various filtering scenarios, and to whoever that applies, for the love of Oreos please get of out the way! ____________________ Current: '07 Suzuki SV1000 & '07 Honda SH300i (again).

I'm interested in this because I thought you could not cross the solid line, only enter/exit bus lanes where the line is broken.
Is that not the case then? |
No. Think of it like the solid white line at the edge of some* roads. It has no meaning other than to indicate where the edge of the road is.
*I say "some" because, at least round here, such markings seem to be quite randomly applied. ____________________ "Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent."

I personally don't because....
* Clip a car for whatever reason that your passing, and you bounce under an on coming vehicle
* Nob jockey coming the other way, decides to teach you a lesson
* Another biker flying towards you in opposite direction doing the same as you, maybe faster
* passing a lorry as a lorry comes the other way.... eek could end badly
However, i would filter in that situation if the traffic in the opposite direction was stopped or moving very slowly. ____________________ You know you are old when you're told to slow down by your doctor and not the police. |
