the other use makes sense.
Obviously not in any freeways or faster roads, but if I live in Hollywood or Santa Monica and wanted to get around, it would work great. The only time the CB really feels its weight to me is when I'm peddling through dead stopped traffic. When traffic's moving you can time your passes to get around those two cars who's mirrors are right at that annoying spot of being level with your bars/mirrors. When they're stopped side by side and you have to tip/lean the bike over at a walking pace to get your mirrors around one stopped car, give it a little gas, turn the bars the other way, lean it over, give it a little gas, to get around them.. I wouldn't mind something lighter.
Yeah, you could wait till they start moving, but when those two cars are 60 cars back from the light, you'll be waiting at least another light cycle if you don't pass them. Call me impatient, I prefer just getting on with my day.
