Motorcycles in your bus lane

I've never seen a motorbike, or even a scooter-ridden-by-a-twat, push a bicycle out of the way an occupied ASL zone
If there is room for a motorcycle in there it's obviously because there isn't a bicycle in that space.

ETA: and I think new riders are far more intimidated by bloody great big buses in the bus lanes that piddly little motorbikes.

My experience is different.

Normally the cycles can't get into the ASL because it is full of mopeds and bikes already, or I can't get into it because the motorbikes/mopeds are blocking access and stopping right in front of the feeder lane to the ASL.

Also, I've had quite a number of close calls with motorbikes pulling away from the within the ASLs with absolutely no regard or consideration for the cyclists - mostly un-signaled left turns from the centre or right lane, being overtaken on my right when I'm trying to turn right.

Just because you are a considerate rider does not make all motorcycle riders considerate. In equal measure, just because I don't RLJ doesn't mean that all cyclists obey red lights.

The interesting thing to see with this new policy is how it will work in practice. The paving of most bus lanes, with all of the current water and gas works, is in a pathetic state. Will cyclists be given the space to avoid the inevitable potholes, cracks? At what speed will we get passed and with how much space?
