In CA, yes. I'm not sure on the exact number, but just about every other state prohibits it.
I also fail to see the problem with lane splitting to the front of the line at a red light.
I fail to see why you would need to do it. What, can't wait like everybody else?
A bike will do 0-60 in 2-4 seconds, so before you even have time to get bent out of shape at my "cutting in front of you", I'll have moved on faster than the laws of physics will allow your cage to catch up to me.
Physics? You ever see the pyshics involved when a toy bike and a "cage" meet up? Not pretty.
I agree that I hate squidly riders that drive erratically in traffic, though.
Lane splitting = diving erratically (in most places). And most lane splitting I have seen occurs while moving (usually at highway speeds), not the kind that happens at a red light.
