Loss of lane splitting rights would be a tragedy. I think I have a solution. Many years ago the Melb city councel decided to ban parking on the foot path.... The ban did not last long at all. The motorcycle community got together & parked at parking meters in the CBD on a saturday morning. When the max time was up for parking, motorcyclists simply changed spots with the adjacent motorcyclists. The disruption to saturday shopping was so bad the ban on footpath parking was lifted permanantly. Naturaly the bulk of parking spots must be used by bikes for this to work; organisation is involved, however it worked a treat. I suggest that this idea is passed around so it grows. The Motorcycle courier industry would be a good place to drop the idea as they have a vested interest in the ability to lane split & their radio communication system would spread the word well.
