the majority of folks in the GTA pack it in once the temp drops below the double digits, so for 6 months a year, drivers rarely see a bike on the road...and most folks look at us as a menace anyways...lane splitting is nice but i would only attempt it if traffic was almost at a standstill...filtering would be nice though, cars don't move like bikes and it would be nice to help ease the congestion...you are gonna get those aggressive drivers, but you'll find them anywhere...
