Lane Splitting in Laguna Beach, CA

Two League of American Bicyclists certified traffic cycling instructors demonstrate the advanced traffic cycling skill known as "lane splitting" - slowly riding between lines of creeping or stopped traffic -- which can be quite safe if the cyclists do not ride too fast or in ways that are unpredictable. Lane splitting is often used by motorcyclists to pass slower motorists, and this technique is just as effective for cyclists. Lane splitting is also legal in CA, and illegal in most other US states, though often used by cyclists in congested major urban cores such as NYC, Chicago and Boston.
