I know I'm going to get laughed at for my youthful idealism, but can't we have a forum or a thread somewhere where cyclists and bikers can discuss things as fellow road users, rather than opponents? For example, I've always been a bit bothered in jams when there's a motorbike sitting right up against a gap between buses that I want to filter through. I mentioned this to a biker friend and he said it had never even occurred to him that this might be annoying, but that he would try and leave a bit more room in future. And I can only assume that there are annoying things I do on my bike that I'm not even aware of. I don't really want to get into a fight over them, and if someone asked me to stop, I probably would (unless it was something ludicrous, like keeping off the road altogether).

Hmmm, perhaps this is more of a C+ comment...
