Yeah, this thing with having to ride right over on the left. I get that from car drivers too, "why do you take up a whole lane when you are only on a bike". And the thing is, the cars take up a whole lane, so why can't I? They chose to sit in the big metal box and clutter the place up... I mean they leave it on the road when they have finished with it... how rude is that. At least I put my bike away.
I know, I know, the guy above is a scooter guy, not car. But it still applies, as peeps have said above, riding tucked over in the left, in the gutter like a second class road citizen.. that's not for me, or for anyone really.
Having said that, I think OP was trying to be constructive. I have ridden scooters, motorbikes and bikes, and I think we are sort of in the same place to some degree. So, I'll take the good wishes from his last para and be happy. 'tis Friday after all.
I have the day off work, a job interview at lunchtime, and the rest of the day to chill, so it is a good day for me.
