I see lane splitting has been tabled for debate. For me a 'piss me off' issue is joining imprompto invited group rides and... as I find my rythm, 'zig zagging' all over to get good lines, some stranger will unexpectedly chance to dart pass me. Am I just nervous and over-thinking danger? Or are there basic courtesy rules about overtaking on dirt roads, 2-tracks and alike?
