Why would you lane split on a bicycle? Surely you just get ahead of cars a at light only to hold them up as soon as it goes green? Same thing with kids on 50cc scooters skipping the queue and then holding everybody up when they hit there top speed of 35mph. Don't split if your going to hold people up of course that will piss them off.
