Check out the "bikers" in NYC.  50MB download, but quite entertaining.

What do you mean lane split.
I thought that narrow lane was the motorcycle lane.
You have to be an idiot to stand in traffic along with the SUV's.
Boy do they get pissed when you are able to move and they are not.

In Paris recently where lane-splitting is the rule rather than the exception.  Rather startling at first but every car accepts it as normal routine and it helps traffic flow.

As a NYC resident, I must say that seeing things like that in person is about 10 times more impressive. (Not to say that the video wasn't unbelievable) Secondly, Lance Armstrong is a big P*ssy compared to those guys. :nana:
