Opinion on Motorbikes forever changing, there's a lot of them on the OKR and a bit of give and take seems to go a long way. One thing that really irks is the fuckwitery i see when they filter to the front but stop before they ASL (as they can and should?). Usually it's a bright yellow jacket on a hybrid that awkwardly squeezes past so the motorbike has to then find there way around them when the lights change. It seems like this is why i see some fairly sane looking motorbikerers using the ASL box as they're screwed either way. Unless there's a clear route where i won't be blocking people i'll sit behind them, don't think i've ever had a motorbike try and squeeze past when i'm sitting at the lights.
In other OKR news: Purple Charge Plug, fluro Concor saddle, brakeless, freewheeling?! Could not spot coaster - think of the children...

That's what the ASL is for, Motorcyclists should really get in line with other traffic to wait for lights, not at the front or to the right. The ASL is there for the safety of the slowest "traffic" ie cyclists, not the quickest, motorcyclists.

It seems that the 30mph speed limit is not applicable to motorcyclists. Since they have been allowed in bus lanes I routinely get overtaken by them at 50/60 even 70mph. It's getting to the point now where it is starting to stress me out and I'm questioning the wisdom of letting them use bus lanes.
