Filtering

[Grahamm]

In London you really don't want to do that, instead filter to the front and if you get there early in the traffic lights phase and there is room before the pedestrians bit, manouvre your bike on front of one of the cars at the head of the queue, this allows other bikers to filter to the front and get in 'pole position' as it were. I know this might sound aggressive and maybe it shouldn't be reccomended, but bikers in London do it anyway and cagers are resigned to it.

I have only rarely ridden in London, but when I do, I just make sure I get out of the way of the bikers who want to do this sort of thing.
