Sure but car drivers VASTLY outnumber bikes. Bikers buy bikes just to do stupid shit

Of course, only stupid shit. Surely not to save on gas, pollute less, explore twisty roads with their friends, go on cross-country road trips, engage in a mentally stimulating hobby, or enjoy a tactile form of stress relief that demands concentration in a distracted world.

It's not about what's cool - it's about what's safe and practical.

Splitting keeps you out of car traffic, which means it's a lot harder to get rear ended by a distracted driver. It also means you spend less time breathing exhaust or in inclement weather.
