Motorcycles in your bus lane

They are courteous, but it's a bit of a risk having both fast moving vehicles and slow moving vehicles in the same lane, even if the motorcyclists are decents.

what, like buses and cyclists?

Its a bus lane.

Mixing speeds is a non-point. The majority of routes I use (and I'm sure others) don't have bus lanes. I 'mix speeds' all the time.

Its a city of ~£7.5m you've got to compromise, so get used to it or get out.

I can't remember who said it above but riding a mb in a bus lane is often a bit pointless. I've only been riding for a few months, but very quickly I've come to the conclusion that 80% of the time the centre of the road is better than the bus lane (esp as more drivers use their rearview mirrors than side mirrors). If I can see the whole way up it and traffics stopped I like having the option but I don't really care. So if it is safer scrap it, if it's negligible keep it.

On a general point, I get that everyone needs to vent, and that's fine, but I think allot of people need to ease up.

The massive increase in cycling has only really occurred recently. You can't expect everyone to suddenly adapt. Drink driving laws were introduced in the 70s, it took a generation for the drink driving message to really become part of peoples mentality.

For the record I use pretty much every mode of transport. I see cunts using every form of transport, from walking to taxis. I try not to be a cunt and always take note of peoples comments - going into the ASL on my motorbike for example.
