Motorcycles in your bus lane

I can't stand that, cars have an annoying habit of doing it too, especially when a bus stops to pick people up.

I was in the green box waiting for the lights to go green and noticed that a motorbike had pulled

up alongside, the lights change and I pulled away much quicker than the motorbike. I thought

race time and kept on pacing it and the motorbike eventually caught up and slowed right down

next to me, and he lifted his visor, I thought fnck, hope I haven't pissed him off somehow

and instead he wanted to chat about my bike; "I like your bike, did you build that yourself, is it

easy to build etc."

The road was quiet and we rode in the bus lane in harmony.

Lovely chap, seems like they're not all cnuts.

Nah they are cool, most motorbike riders are quite passionate about it and aware of the road too. Like us cyclists they have to deal with the fact that a lot of heavier traffic does not notice them. I've said it before, but the worst is the people on the 50cc etc. A lot of them have no real road knowledge/experience and ride in a way which annoys both cyclists and true bikers.
