"What is yet to be proven is that allowing motorcycles in bus lanes is of any disbenefit to cyclists whatsoever."

Surely the "disbenefit" (is that a word) is sharing the bus lane with vehicles other than buses = more risk to cyclists. It doesn't matter how little the risk is to cyclists, the risk to them is increased with motos in bus lanes.

There may be decreased risk to motorbikers that outweighs this but that doesn't remove the fact that adding traffic to bike/bus lanes increases the risk of injury to cyclists.

You don't need figures to back it up. It's a logical outcome.

This is the best post in the thread.

Other areas of campaigning we do are of great benefit to motorcyclists, for example reducing the risk from HGVs and working towards 20mph speed limits.

Dont think Motorcyclists worry too much about speed limits do they ?

Absolutely right.

I certainly don't.

...Skully, just because I bite the proverbial internet lip most of the time, doesn't mean I can't raise my head above the parapet to give my point of view. I can chat just as much shit as the rest of you, I just choose not to, because it gives too much ammunition for people to lob back at you when you try to make a serious point. so there.. ;-P

Your experience as motorcyclist and cyclist, with others like you here, makes your contribution extremely welcome and valid.

Now I'll just get back to some bleating. Baaah.

[FONT=Verdana]one of the main routes I use is up and down the finchley road which was one of the pilot schemes for m/bikes in bus lanes. it has been running for so long I can’t remember life without m/bikes.[/FONT]
