  I have had a number of issues with them now mainly to do with moving out to pass a stopped bus and whether the person in front on the cycle or the person behind on the motorbike has right of way. I have also experienced the 12000 revs method of making there presence felt. While it is nice to know they are there I associate the sound with a fast moving bike, and can't help feeling that they are trying to dominate other road users. Last night I had one of them revving madly to get me to move over so he could squeeze past me while I was passing a stopped bus on the left and stationary traffic on the right, there simply was not room for him to do this safely.

  After nearly being knocked off by a aggressive motorcyclist in a bus lane last night I went looking for a way to do something about it. Not sure if this has been posted but can't help thinking that the forum making use of it would help the cause.

  I just posted this in the other thread as this one was started my be more relevant here.

  How about setting up a website with the MT images on and including the URL on the spoke cards. It could also be used to bring awareness to other cycling safety issues and have links No10 petitions or examples of letters that can be printed and sent to MPs which I believe will be far harder for them to ignore.

  The slogan on the spoke cards will draw attention but does it alone get the message across to people who don't know the dangers of trucks?
