Yup, like anything one bad apple can tarnish the reputation of the entire bunch....
I can't tell you how many times I have had to explain to people at work. Not all bikers ride like morons and lane splitting is not any more dangerous than coming to a complete stop in the fast lane on the highway. Most admittedly hate it when a bike is lane splitting and I have received reasons as simple and stupid as "why should they keep moving when I can't"..
They never take into consideration any other bike safety issues or how a bike heats up and needs air to stay cool, they just don't like you moving when they can't... How arrogant American is that mentality for yah... These are the same people that drive around with a cell phone, coffee and smoke going all at the same time.. They don't care about safety they only care about beating the next guy home....
