Motorcycles in your bus lane

There's also the disincentive to new cyclists, they are already scared enough to go onto public roads and bus lanes are their sanctuary, we'd be removing that sanctuary by allowing a constant stream of traffic into them. Buses are only periodic and thanks to their frequent stops average slightly slower speed than cycles, meaning that as they move at roughly the same speed as a commuter on a bicycle you don't really come into contact with them... that isn't true of motorcycles, mopeds and scooters which wouldn't be hindered by frequent stops and would have an above average speed in the bus lanes, thus creating a stream of traffic that isn't there.

That's how I view it. That it creates the idea that there is no longer a sanctuary.

And the reason I don't object to motorcyclists but do to scooters and mopeds is that I've witnessed motorcyclists being some of the most aware and considerate road users (due to their vulnerability in nearly all circumstances I suspect)... this isn't something that commuting scooter/moped users exhibit, and frequently I see their behaviour as being reckless and dangerous.
