I'm both a cyclist and motorcyclist (well, until some c*nt drove into me earlier in the year) I prefer not to ride a motorbike in bus lanes in heavy traffic because I end up travelling faster than the inevitably crawling traffic and faster than I would be when filtering down the middle because it's an empty lane, which leaves for less time to deal with incidents.
If my lights aren't shining in someone's mirrors then they're not going to see me until its too late if they decide to turn off or join the lane. I stick to filtering down the middle on both, it's how I was trained on the motorbike and serves me personally well on the bicycle as well.
Scooter riders should generally be shot.
