bikes to solve gridlock

“When was the last time you saw a guy speed by you on a Harley texting?” Motorcyclists are careful drivers because they have to be.

from Clark’s autobiography, You’re Welcome: “I watched that biker snake through the gridlock and the solution appeared in a flash. As a columnist, the bulk of my time was spent looking for bad driving; looking for stupidity and laziness. It was never hard to find. There was only one group that seemed to be above the usual flaws – motorcyclists. They often seemed to obey the law. They did shoulder checks. They signalled. When it came to accelerating, braking, and cornering, motorcyclists were solid. Once in a while, you’d see some yahoo speeding through highway traffic pretending he was Miguel Duhamel, but that was it.”
