What you guys are forgetting though is that the government/Dft/TfL (whoever) say that they want to encourage people to cycle but this new scheme does not make sense. Some cyclists are going to feel intimidated by other motorised vehicles in bus lanes. Bus lanes are not always very well maintained and are full of potholes so it is difficult to stay in a straight line.
Although there are a lot of good motorbike/mopeds riders around, there are a lot of bad ones. If one collides with me, I know who will be hurt. And if more accidents happen between motorbikes and cyclists we know how it will be reported/perceived by everybody "cyclists are stupid and should pay tax and learn how to ride". They will be blamed.
ASLs should be respected and used by cyclists only.
