gsxrnurse Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 That would be nice until some jackass opens his door when you're passing him to get to the front. I guess I just don't have faith in my fellow Americans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbarron77 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 That would be Awesome....until some pedestrian decided he could walk there, and the gets pissed because there's a bike in the way, and then sues because bikes are getting preferential treatment, thereby outlawing bikes.....oops....carried my rant too far......So many lawyers, not enough bullets!

magley64 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I already do this, there isn't a dedicated space there, but I find space... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyec001 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 This would be nice but I agree with gsxrnurse. I don't think people are thoughtful enough of motorcycles to not cause a problem here. I see people inching up into the box, or not letting bikes get up to the box. Whatever they can do to be one car in front of where they are.

John Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 yeah i thought about that too... i figure, if they make the fine for encroachment on the box something like 700 dollars, and actively enforce it, cagers would probably get the idea pretty quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 when I was in europe they motorcycles already were going to the front of the pack at every light and they didnt have special boxes. None of the cars messed with them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 europeans respect motorcycles more because there are so many more of tehm on the road. As gas prices increase to $6/gallon, you'll see more bikes on the road and fewer cars. Even the people who don't ride will likely have a husband/son/daughter/wife who does. By default, they'll be more respectful of bikes.It'll take 20 years or more, but it'll happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinkinhood Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 They just need to make more snowable bikes and then Ohio will see the influx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harb67 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 They just need to make more snowable bikes and then Ohio will see the influx.I dunno about that. I figure that by the time gas is so expensive that the typical American driver puts down the cell phone and breakfast burrito and gets on a bike or scooter, we Ohio's climate will be similar to that of Nevada.
