I tend to be tolerant of learners because we were all there once... I did this journey on my cg when it was a lot scarier and remember it well!!

but when you want to ride a bit faster than the boxes next to you and you get held up by a biker I look at whats going on. If its wall to wall traffic and theres nowhere for him to go, fair enough. I will go at his speed with no probs and not get frustrated.

Its when the guy in front KNOWS you are there, KNOWS you and all the other bikes behind you want to go faster than the cars and him but STILL blocks you even though theres room for him to pull over and let you through that when I get wound up a bit...

I find having the loud can and riding with full beam very few people pull out in front of me so I do feel I can go faster in traffic. I understand some people arent as comfortable with that and go slower... fair play to them.. you gotta ride how you are comfortable or youre not safe.

but the issue isnt how fast should you filter but one of pulling over and letting people past if their choice is to go faster... to block someone deliberately is just....
