filtering is one of the best things about biking. if they banned it id stop riding as it will be pointless/unhealthy(sniffing car fumes)/dangerous.... heck... if they did that you may as well ride a quad instead lol

Biker Friendly Stickers
As an X-biker(summer project, 1989 XT600 or Fiat Coupe, so might become a 2011 biker).
I prefer drivers to move over a little, not in the gutter, dont expect them to risk punctures or hitting drains etc. Most riders tend to ride near the center of the road(white line), gives a clearer view of the traffic, so any stuff kicked up by the near side wheels being to close to the gutter usually misses.

In real world practical terms though, to see to the "vanishing point" on a right hand bend you need to be as far left on your own side of the road as possible, avoiding drains & road detritis.
Police training encourages use of the full width of your side of the road for that very perpose, like-wise for a left hander you will be adjacent to the road centre markings on purple alert for the wayward car / van / Truck drivers stradling the centre line, be it painted or imaginary...

yep... but i wouldnt be expecting someone to move over on a bend... as realistically you will be waiting for a straight (even if its short) to overtake...
anyone who pulls towards a curb at 60 + mph should be shot.
