To all Auckland commuters...

BTW:
I have on occasion stopped, grabbed each mirror and pulled back, rode through a tight gap to the front of the traffic lights, then repositioned my mirrors back to where they were.

The exec has electric mirrors like a (dare I say it,) car.
He can do it with the push of a switch, so people can't actually see him activating it. All they see is the mirrors moving - of their own accord!

I do that. For those that I notice who actually see me and intentionally move to give me more space. I like to think that if they get some sign of thanks they will do it again.

It's probable that those who move aside are actually bikers. I am one of those, usually only when it rains or I need to carry more than my lunch box though.

I really should find a water proof jacket!

Been doing a lot more splitting in trips to the city. That traffic is just awful. So glad to ride a bike. About 100kms round trip and also passed on through.

Gets a bit tedious after doing both the northern AND southern motorways on my way through.

My longest lane split started south of Greenlane and ended just short of Albany.

Bike 1 : Hundreds of Cagers 0.

Lanesplitting from Greenlane to Albany? I think that number is a little low!

When the traffic is bad I can lane split past a LOT* of cars just going from Ellerslie to the city.




* Roughly in the range of 1 to 1.24 shitloads.

I go past a lot in my commute. Wouldnt try to count though. Usually splitting from Papakura to Manukau, and then East Tamaki to the city, depending on the traffic and time of morning of course. Good fun.

I'll look out for you Thani, I do the splitting/waving thing from Papakura to Manaukau too, then on to the airport on an old silver FZR1K. I consider myself a wizard splitter, not overconfident tho.
