I was just in Australia (Sydney) for new year - lots of bikes about, lots of bike parking spaces (are you listening San Francisco?) but for some reason almost nobody was wearing gloves when riding (except for a couple of guys who had opted for shorts, T-shirt and gloves - bizarre).
Australia tends to have a much more of a "nanny government" than the US is used too - lots of safety regulations (eg can't get take out food unless the restaurant has a take out license). The lane splitting thing sounds like another government knows better idea - hopefully it won't pass.
