I'm convinced that if we legalized lane splitting and filtering at red lights in cities in the US it would dramatically reduce traffic as more people would buy scooters and motorcycles.

Every Asian country that does this has way less traffic.

Its legal in California. I grew up in LA where the weather allows riding 300+ days per year. There's still lots of traffic.

Shit you're right

Riding in San Diego is great though.

I never had a bike when I lived in CA, but it makes a lot of sense.

I wonder if economic reality is going to push a lot more people onto two wheels over the coming years.

I doubt it. You have to want it or enjoy it. Everyone I talk to about it that doesnt ride has no interest.

Yes. 2024 was a new record for motorcycle sales globally. 2025 is projected to be higher.
